Virtus.pro lose against Immortals and SK Gaming at ESL One Cologne 2017
In Virtus.pro’s first two matches at ESL One Cologne 2017, the team lost to Brazil-based Immortals (12-16) and SK Gaming (9-16)
The first game was played on Cobblestone. The first map half ended 7-8 in Immortals’ favor. One of the key moments of the game was when, at 12-12, kNg made four AWP kills, stopping Virtus.pro’s attack on the A site. The Brazilians didn’t lose a single round after that.
Our second game was played on Mirage, where Virtus.pro were faced with a quality defense from SK Gaming. The score was 12-3 at the map half, but the Poles refused to give up and forced the fight on the Brazilians. In the end, the game went 16-9 in SK’s favor, but there was a point at which a VP comeback seemed a real possibility.
