Virtus, LDLC, Na`Vi win openers

In the first matches of groups C and D Virtus.pro, LDLC and Na`Vi have defeated myXMG, ESC ja FlipSid3 Tactics ïn their opening round matches.

First up from the three were the Polish side Virtus.pro, who wound up playing the Danes of myXMG on de_inferno to begin their campaign at DreamHack Winter 2014.

Jarosław "⁠pashaBiceps⁠" Jarząbkowski's team virtually secured a victory in the first half by scoring fourteen rounds on defense, and wasted no time in closing out the game with a 16-2 scoreline. DreamHack Winter 2014Best of 1 Virtus.proMatchpage 16 2 27th November 2014 myXMG 16Inferno 2

Next match ending was Vincent "⁠Happy⁠" Schopenhauer's LDLC's debut in group C, against Virtus.pro's fellow countrymen ESC Gaming, with de_cobblestone drawn as the map for the game.

If myXMG were dominated in their game, ESC fared even worse. The Poles won zero rounds as terrorists, and put up just four in the second half before being wiped out 4-16. DreamHack Winter 2014Best of 1 LDLCMatchpage 16 4 27th November 2014 ESC 16Cobblestone 4
