Virtus Pro and Nigma Survive to Advance in ESL One Los Angeles Online
Virtus Pro and Nigma, two strong teams in ESL One Los Angeles Online, managed to survive and advance to the next stage of the tournament.
The third day of competition featured a clash between VP and Gambit Esports. Despite Gambit’s close victory in the first game, they couldn’t withstand VP’s offensive power. Resolut1on’s Timbersaw and iLTW’s Ember Spirit dominated the mid-game, but Gambit made a comeback and won the game in the final push.
In the second game, VP quickly adapted and defeated Gambit. They utilized a Shadow Demon/Mars offlane and iLTW’s Slark to secure their victory.
In the final game of the series, VP dominated Gambit. They prevented Gambit from farming their Juggernaut and crushed their supports in team fights. Resolut1on and No[o]ne played exceptionally well for VP.
Nigma, on the other hand, had a back-and-forth battle against Cyber Legacy. After losing to OG on the first day, Nigma was determined to win. Miracle- played a strong Ember Spirit and had impressive stats, supported by KuroKy and MinD_ContRoL.
Despite Nigma’s victory in the first game, Cyber Legacy bounced back and won the second game. Nigma’s lack of sustain cost them the game in a high ground push.
The deciding game was more competitive, with both teams leading at different points. Kuro’s Keeper of the Light played a crucial role for Nigma, enabling Miracle- to deal massive damage. Nigma’s team fight was overwhelming for Cyber Legacy, and Nigma secured the series victory.
Virtus Pro now sits in the top two of Group A, while Nigma finally put themselves on the board. Both teams will play again on April 9, facing different opponents. Nigma will play against Gambit, and VP will take on Cyber Legacy.
