OpTic moved up to the 2-1 pool after crushing Chiefs 16-4 on Train.

Starting as Counter-Terrorists, the home team Chiefs grabbed an early 3-0 lead with a pistol round going their way.

Clinching the first two gunrounds, OpTic replied with four in a row thanks to forcing their opponents on ecoes before the Australian side equalized the score at 4-4 with doubles from Liam "⁠malta⁠" Schembri and Tyler "⁠tucks⁠" Reilly.

OpTic conceded only one gunround throughout the match

OpTic had a firm grasp on the rest of the half, exploiting each bombsite late into the rounds after Oscar "⁠mixwell⁠" Cañellas found entries, switching over at 11-4.

Keith "⁠NAF⁠" Markovic's and Tarik "⁠tarik⁠" Celik's doubles in the second pistol got OpTic within two rounds from the victory, and they took no time to close things out as NAF clutched a 1v3 for 16-4.
