Aurora claim third at EPL with Spirit sweep

The match certainly meant more to Aurora than Spirit , with the newly-minted international lineup hoping to legitimize their recent improvements and get closer to a Stage 3 berth for Singapore Major.

Those facts bore out on the server, with Aurora seeming sharper in every department as Spirit fell to a lacklustre defeat, frustration evident on their player cams throughout much of the series.

Wicadia Dualies ace kicks off third-place decider Aurora should have secured Mirage more quickly than they did, as the European combine raced out to a 6-1 lead off the back of a pistol win and a couple of very convincing gun rounds.

Spirit , however, were able to break Aurora 's momentum with some low-buy wins and secure five rounds by the half.

Another strong start to the second half kept Aurora in the driver's seat, and although Andrey "⁠tN1R⁠" Tatarinovich and Dmitry "⁠sh1ro⁠" Sokolov offered a bit of resistance, Aurora duly marched to a victory on their opponent's map pick.

Aurora outplay Spirit in the mid round despite insane sh1ro MP9 spray transfer Anubis was even more one-sided, the frustration apparent on Spirit 's player cams as they simply couldn't play themselves into the game.
