The 00 Nation of Try won and is a finalist in the RTP Arena Cup

00 Nation, the team led by the historic Brazilian coldzera and with the Argentinian jewel try in their ranks, beat OFFSET Esports 2-0 (16-14 Inferno, 16-10 Overpass) and won the final of the RTP Arena Cup, which is an Iberian qualifier for BLAST Premier. The rival will be Movistar Riders.

The first map of the series was Inferno, chosen by the Portuguese team. 00 started in the defense and asserted it, since after being 3-3, he won and achieved an 11-4 in the face of the change of sides. With the second round of guns in his pocket, they quickly got 14-4, but OFFSET did not let himself be left and began to cut the lead, with many rounds won in retake situations. When things seemed to get more complicated, 00 Nation closed the map in the last round of regular time with a 16-14. vsm was key with 30-18 K/D, 109.1 ADR and 83.3% KAST.

The series continued in Overpass, where the South American team again took the lead in the first half, in this case from the terrorist side, with which they put a 9-6 run, something more than enough considering the map being played. Although after the change of sides OFFSET approached dangerously, try took advantage of his aggressive play on several occasions to achieve key losses with the AWP and thus close the 16-10 map and the 2-0 series.

With this result, 00 Nation will play the Grand Final for the entry to the European key of the BLAST Premier Showdown tomorrow at 13 (AR). The rival will be Movistar Riders, who defeated SAW in the semifinal 2-1 in a very tight series that was defined after a double overtime on the last map.
