ENRAGE, like us, have also played twice in the playoffs just before this to end up here. First, they actually managed to beat G2 Ares 2-0, a big feat, to end up in the upper bracket side of the HLTV matches, but they then lost to UUST_Esports 0-2 to drop back down to face us. Our games have been a 1-2 loss to XI Esport, and a 2-0 victory over Tincan. You can read the previous match reports on both of those games in the news section.
