YeaH! win ESEA Open Brazil to qualify for MDL Global Challenge

YeaH! Gaming have qualified for the next ESEA MDL Global Challenge after winning the ESEA Open Brazil league with a 2-0 victory over FURIA.

En-route to the final, Yeah, who have among their investors SK duo Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo and Marcelo "⁠coldzera⁠" David, beat EX, W7M and DETONA, while FURIA had to move past gloryUS, C4 and ex-Tempo Storm.

The title decider kicked off on Mirage, where FURIA took nine rounds into the second half after playing on the CT side. After the break, Yeah set up a strong defence and secured four map points, but Guilherme "⁠spacca⁠" Spacca's men picked themselves up and took the game to overtime - a wasted effort, however, as Caio "⁠zqkS⁠" Fonseca's side would lock down the map.

Next up was Inferno, where Yeah got off to a flying start as they cruised to a 9-1 lead on the Terrorist side. FURIA then finally got a footing in the game, winning nine of the next ten rounds to equalise the score at 10-10, but then Yeah strung six rounds together to wrap things up and secure a spot at the ESEA event.
