EPICENTER 2018: The beginning of a journey
The match starts at 16:00 CEST
In the first round of the group stage at EPICENTER 2018, NAVI.GG.BET will fight
HellRaisers. The match will start at 16:00 CEST and will be in the best of 3 format.
After the appearance at FACEIT Major, the European team took part in one LAN tournament - StarSeries S6, where it did not overcome the group stage and took the 9–11 places. This failure cost HellRaisers dearly: in the HLTV.org ranking,
ENCE caught up to them, and, as a result, denied them the direct invitation to the main stage of EPICENTER 2018. Thus,
ANGE1 and his company had to make their way to the tournament through the Wild Card.
At the qualifying stage, HellRaisers took the first place, beating
Swole Patrol and
Virtus.pro with the same score (2:0). As for the personal meetings of
NAVI and
HellRaisers, the last time the teams played each other was in the fourth season of the StarSeries, and that time our guys won (16:14 - Cobblestone; 16: 6 - Inferno). We believe that today,
NAVI will be able to show the same level of a game which pleased us all last week in the ESL Pro League, and overcome
HellRaisers! #NAVINATION
