Team SMG, Team Lilgun secure M5 slots after dominant M5 Wild Card performance
In the group stage, both teams asserted their dominance, concluding with an impeccable 3-0 record in their respective groups. The clash between Group A’s top seed, Team SMG, and Group B’s second seed, Imperio E-Sport, unfolded in the first crossover match.
Team SMG exhibited control in the initial two games, propelled by Aeliff “Smooth” Ariff‘s remarkable 5/0/5 KDA on X.Borg in the first game and Kenneth “Saxa” Fedelin‘s lethal Heavy Spin maneuvers on Akai in the second game. Despite Imperio’s resilient efforts, the series extended to a fourth game as Marco “Markinho” Colque‘s Dyrroth secured a Maniac, clinching the third game and prolonging the intense showdown.
Nonetheless, Team SMG showcased their supremacy in the fourth game, reaching a crescendo with a flawless Lord dance at the 13-minute mark. By securing the Lord buff and dispatching three members of Imperio, Team SMG confidently advanced down the middle lane, sealing their decisive victory.
Meanwhile, the second crossover match between Group B’s top seed, Team Lilgun, and Group A’s second seed, Niightmare Esports, unfolded with a more pronounced one-sided narrative. Team Lilgun effortlessly clinched the first two games, although Niightmare Esports displayed resilience in the third, stretching it beyond the 25-minute mark.
In a pivotal moment, Team Lilgun emerged triumphant in the Lord dance at the 27-minute mark, leaving Niightmare Esports scrambling to defend their base. Exploiting the disarray of their opponents, Team Lilgun systematically picked off members of Niightmare one by one until none remained.
Seizing the opportune moment with all five members of Niightmare eliminated, the Mongolian squad tactically bided their time, patiently waiting for the Lord to arrive in the base. Once the moment arrived, they swiftly demolished the Lord, cementing their resounding 3-0 victory. This commanding performance earns Team Lilgun a spot among the 14 other qualified teams, propelling them into the M5 World Championship group stage set to commence on December 2nd, 2023.
