NRG secure DH Valencia spot

NRG have booked the final spot at DreamHack Valencia after defeating Luminosity 2-0 in the grand final of the North American qualifier.

En route to the final, NRG defeated mouseSpaz and Complexity, both by 2-0 scorelines, while Luminosity defeated Mythic and the Miami Flamingos - without dropping a single map, either.

The grand final kicked off on Cache, Luminosity's map pick. The Brazilians got off to a great start, strolling to a 9-6 lead, but a strong recovery from NRG saw them seal a 16-12 victory, with Jacob "⁠FugLy⁠" Medina racking up 29 frags.

The map that followed, Mirage, was a complete blowout from the start. This time around, Peter "⁠ptr⁠" Gurney and Vincent "⁠Brehze⁠" Cayonte led the charge for NRG, who took 11 rounds on the Terrorist side before quickly locking down the map in the second half.
