Minnesota Røkkr vs Boston Breach

Game 1

Map: Bocage
Mode: Hardpoint

The opening hardpoint started off in true Bocage fashion, with both teams gaining minimal time on P1 and fighting for the rotation to the second hill. Despite coming up short in the initial fight for control of the point, Røkkr were able to easily break the hill and take an early lead. The following points were highly contested, and the score sat at 107-92 in favor of Minnesota Røkkr going into the second set of rotations. Boston Breach refused to let Minnesota Røkkr extend their lead on the first two points, but a 6-kill streak from Havok and a strong hold on P3 gave Minnesota a small lead as the two teams battled for control of P4 and P5. Breach managed to overtake Minnesota Røkkr at the start of the third set of rotations, but Røkkr battled back — Minnesota narrowly had the lead, and the score sat at 245-241 as both teams frantically fought for control of P3. With time running low, Boston Breach were able to bring themselves within one point of Minnesota on P3, but Standy made a heroic last-second entry onto the point to contest — in a nail-biting sequence, Standy was able to stay hidden on P3 and the game clock hit zero with Minnesota a single point ahead. The final score was 245-244 in favor of Minnesota Røkkr.

On offense, Røkkr took A early, and began their assault on B, but Boston was able to withstand the pressure, winning the round and tying score at 1-1. Røkkr returned to defense, and Boston were unable to find success — the score was now 2-1, and Minnesota was now on match and series point. Once again on offense, Minnesota found early success at A, claiming the point without much resistance from Boston.

In the process, Havok was able to string together six uninterrupted kills, giving Minnesota a live advantage as they transitioned towards B. After a series of bold plays, Røkkr found an early tick on B before Breach were able to clear them out. Boston’s lives were quickly running out, and Minnesota gained control of B while simultaneously playing for kills around the map. This two-pronged attack from Røkkr was successful, and Minnesota took a 3-1 win in Game 3 to win the series 3-0 and eliminate Boston Breach from Major III.
