Nemiga Cause Huge 3-0 Upset Over BetBoom To Win Pinnacle Mata Vibes #2
The Pinnacle Malta Vibes #2 tournament is a $50,000 online event featuring teams from Eastern and Western Europe. BetBoom were the favorite to win the whole event, and they had to face off against Nemiga Gaming in the Grand Final of the tournament in a Best of 5 series.
The first game went as expected for BetBoom, building up a 7,000 gold lead at the 15-minute mark. Surprisingly, Nemiga were able to claw their way back slowly and eventually forced BetBoom to call GG.
In Game 2, BetBoom were again up by 6,000 gold in 20 minutes against Nemiga’s Doom. BetBoom tried to break through Nemiga’s high ground, but Nemiga won a miraculous fight to once again force a comeback. V1olent’s Juggernaut became too powerful, and BetBoom had to concede the second game.
Surely BetBoom won’t get swept 0-3 by a team going to Division II, right? BetBoom took an early net worth lead for the third game in a row, this time 7,000 gold in 17 minutes. It’s hard to believe, but once again, BetBoom threw their advantage and lost the game, crowning Nemiga as the winner of the entire event with a 3-0 sweep.
This victory means a lot to Nemiga, who had a rough DPC Summer Tour, getting relegated to the lower division after losing a three-way tiebreaker against Hydra and One Move. They will be taking home $24,000 in prize money.
