Good role despite the crowd
Movistar drivers he did well Considering that there was a tournament in the competition that they were not prepared for, and all the hassle of having to close a round in a few hours, the nerves caused by the lack of surprise and calm after all that hustle. Two days before the start of the competition last Tuesday.
The Riders are currently the 27th best CS:GO team in the world and face off in the first round LARGE12 is a German team that has always performed well in all championships against a 16-13 loser in a very close match that ended due to some faults of the Movistar team probably caused by the factors we mentioned earlier.
However, this defeat did not mean the end of the Movistar Riders as they still had options to qualify for the competition. Substantially Activity, kick start the day MIBR in a match where they clearly excel, beating both Ancient and Inferno quite consistently.
