ENCE, Vitality cruise to first victories in Malmö

fnatic was not successful in the debut of their new roster, losing to ENCE 16-7 on Mirage, while Vitality overcame TYLOO 16-7 in their first match with Richard "⁠shox⁠" Papillon.

Robin "⁠flusha⁠" Rönnquist's double in the pistol got returned on by ENCE swiftly, who overran the B bombsite to kick off the match with a 2-0 T-side lead. fnatic mustered a round win with their first buy, but ENCE quickly regained control and dictated the pace up to a 6-1 lead. The Swedish side only managed a few more rounds before the end of the half, but each of their wins would be responded on by Aleksi "⁠allu⁠" Jalli and co., resulting in a 10-5 half.

The Finnish side picked up a confident win on Mirage

fnatic added another round to their name by winning the pistol with an A push, but fumbled against a full-eco mid push which killed their comeback potential on Mirage. In the first buy of the half, ENCE picked up an entry on ramp and pulled off a 4v4 B retake, setting themselves up for the win. With an AWP triple kill, allu brought the game to an end, 16-7 in favor of the Finns.

On Inferno against TYLOO, Vitality had an impressive start as CT, losing just one of the first 10 rounds, building up a lead with ease. Hansel "⁠BnTeT⁠" Ferdinand's quad kill gave TYLOO their second and started the Chinese side's comeback on the offense, with a crucial 4v4 on the A site going their way ahead of a 10-5 half-time finish.

A successful pistol round extended Vitality's lead up to 14-5 swiftly. Lockdown on the defense powered by HaoWen "⁠somebody⁠" Xu and BnTeT gave TYLOO their sixth, but Mathieu "⁠ZywOo⁠" Herbaut replied with a quad kill and the game was finished shortly, 16-7.
