Red Reserve took down OpTic Gaming 3-1, winning two Hardpoints in the process. The Europeans opened the series with a 250-212 victory on Sainte Marie du Mont Hardpoint—Joshua-Lee “Joshh” Shephard led the way for Red with a 35/26 kill/death ratio. Red Reserve followed this up with a 6-5 win on London Docks Search and Destroy, as Rhys “Rated” Price and Seth “Scump” Abner both dropped 12 kills.

Facing their first 2-0 deficit so far in the pro league, OpTic responded with a dominant 5-1 victory on London Docks Capture the Flag. But Red Reserve shut down any Green Wall hopes of a reverse sweep with a 250-218 win on Gibraltar Hardpoint. Rated once again led the charge for Red at 33/26, as the Europeans overcame Scump’s 36-kill performance.

Mindfreak also continued their impressive play this week with a stunning sweep of Echo Fox. The Australians dominated Sainte Marie du Mont Hardpoint, 250-85, and proceeded to take a 6-3 win on London Docks Search and Destroy. Ardennes Forest Capture the Flag was much closer, but Mindfreak clutched up in overtime to take the 2-1 map win, and 3-0 series sweep.

Earlier in the day, Team Vitality secured their first series win of Stage One with a 3-2 victory against eRa Eternity. And in the final match of the night, Call of Duty fans saw Tommy “TJHaLy” Haly lead Rise Nation to a reverse sweep over Team Kaliber.
