Made in Brazil and Gravitas Gaming have won their semi final matches at the ongoing American Extreme Masters finals. From there on both teams will head on to meat each other in the winner bracket final.Both teams have secured themselves a top three finish which guarantees them a spot at the EM III global final in Hannover next year.
The first semi final match was between Made in Brazil and MoB Gaming . MoB previously managed to cause an upset in the tournament by eliminating EG.USA and the question was, "how good would they be against the Brazilians?"
Unfortunately for them they were outclassed away on de_train first half. mibr, being on the CT side, secured an early 15 to NILL lead. In the end MoB managed to get four rounds and eventually lost the game 16-4.
The next game was x3o versus Gravitas Gaming US and unlike the first game this match in overall was a lot closer and enjoyable to watch. Despite being down by seven rounds in the first half (11-4 on Dust2), the new X3O (previously known as Paragon of Virtue) pumped up the action with a wonderful second half.
Until the very last three rounds it looked like X3O would have made a wonderful comeback, but after a very successful "last chance" round by Gravitas, they weren't able to come out on top. The end score was 16-13 in favour of Gravitas Gaming.
MoB and X3O will now battle for the third and last qualifying spot for the EM III global final in Hannover. Previous results can be seen here.
