Virtus.pro win Arbalet Cup Ukraine

Virtus.pro has brought home the trophy from Arbalet Cup Ukraine, as they won the Grand Final against HellRaisers.

HellRaisers had found their way into the Grand Final at Arbalet Cup Ukraine, following the result of the upper-bracket final, where Virtus.pro was defeated with a 2-0 map score. Virtus.pro was then to play the Consolidation Final, where they faced tp.uSports.

Shortly before the match should start, the captain of Virtus.pro, Aleksey "LeX" Kolesnikov, was rushed to the hospital with an ambulance. Reports indicate that Kolesnikov had problems with his heart. Virtus.pro was then forced to use k23's Dauren "AdreN" Kystaubaev for the remaining matches. The match against tp.uSports was a nail-biting close match, seeing Virtus.pro come out on top, after playing overtime, with a 19-17 score on train.

Moving to the Grand Final, HellRaisers should win just one map, while Virtus.pro would need two. First map inferno, Virtus.pro played strong and could thank their standin Kystaubaev as he played a key role. Inferno was won with a 16-9 score and the final battleground turned out to be nuke. Starting as T on nuke, Virtus.pro once again played strong, this time getting seven rounds, against HellRaisers’ eight. Not many things went wrong for Virtus.pro as CT and the victory was never to be questioned. Gathering nine rounds, Virtus.pro claimed victory on nuke, with a 16-10 score, winning 2-0 overall.

Broken tag

This concludes Arbalet Cup Ukraine, seeing Virtus.pro without their captain, take home the trophy.
