Minnesota Røkkr vs Los Angeles Guerrillas

CDL OpTic Major 1 – Day 2: Minnesota Røkkr 3-0 Sweep LA Guerrillas 

It’s day two at the OpTic Major I in Arlington, Texas. Attach, Priestahh, Majormaniak, and Standy are eager to play their first match against the LA Guerrillas in the first Major LAN event of the season. This is Røkkrs’ mainstage debut for this event, and they are ready to bring the house down!

Map 1: Gavutu Hardpoint 

Røkkr gains early control of the first ring hardpoint. Røkkr starts off strong with all kills and points going in their favor. Røkkr secures almost 40 points before LA Guerrillas can score 1. LA Guerrillas hit the early rotation to hill number 2 in hopes to get control of the game. The Guerrillas close the point gap and nearly take the lead after the second hardpoint, however, Røkkr begins to slay out and is the first one in the third hill. As we tune in for a listen-in with Minnesota Røkkr, the communication seems to be clear, calm, and concise. Røkkr finds their stride and quickly begins to dominate this game in kills and points. The LA Guerrillas work tirelessly to get themselves back into this game but unfortunately for them, it is too little too late, as Minnesota Røkkr stomps off with the map 1 win, 250-175

Map 2: Berlin Search and Destroy

Minnesota Røkkr is phenomenal after the map 1 victory and carries that energy into map 2 of Berlin Search & Destroy. LA Guerrillas have something to say after losing the first map and they come out guns blazing! Majormaniak finds himself in a 1v4 situation. He falls and LA Guerrillas win round one. But Minnesota Røkkr bounces back and takes round two in less than 60 seconds. Standy takes a stand in round 3 and becomes an absolute menace on the map, he closes out round 3, 6-1 in the favor of Røkkr. Both teams juggle rounds back and forth until Minnesota Røkkr closes out map 2, 6-3 over the LA Guerrillas. 

Map 3: Gavutu Control

Minnesota Røkkr looks good going into map 3 as they lead the series 2-0. All they need to do is close out this third map and they will advance to the next round of the tournament. Technical difficulties arise and the map needs to be reset, however, that doesn’t faze the kings of the North and they start off map 3 stronger than ever and go up 1-0 in this control. LA Guerrillas are not going to go down without a fight, as they take the second round, and tie the map 1-1. Asim goes on a 6-kill streak, doing everything in his power to keep his team in this series. Minnesota Røkkr secures another round, but so do LA Guerrillas. This map truly goes the distance. LA Guerrillas fall short and Minnesota Røkkr demonstrates their dominance with a 3-0 win.
