In the final series of the day, Furia took down Outsiders.

The Brazilians, with star rifler Kaike “KSCERATO” Cerato topping the charts, needed three maps to create a gap between them and their Russian adversaries.

With ENCE’s victory in mind, this win might be crucial for Furia, as the group is highly likely to have some tiebreakers after five games.

Furia will face Sprout tomorrow, as they hope to remain undefeated going into day three, while Outsiders face FaZe Clan in a bottom of the rankings match.
