Seattle Surge gives a mortal blow to LA Thieves

In an interesting and exciting match, the Seattle Surge delivered a killer blow to LA Thieves to eliminate them from the CDL Championship 2023. Undoubtedly, it was an extremely intense match, as it was back and forth from the start. However, the Surge were able to deliver the final blow to stay alive in the tournament.

Embassy (Hardpoint) was the scene of the series’ first game, and we saw the Surge take the victory 250-161. Then, the Thieves reacted immediately to strike back at El Asilo (Search&Destroy) and evened the series 1-1 after a 6-2 win.

The Surge struck again in El Asilo (Control) with a narrow 3-2 victory to move to within one win of advancing to the next round of the Elimination Bracket. As was the case in the second match, the Californian team was able to hit the table at Mercado Las Almas (Hardopoint) and took the victory by 250-210. Finally, with the game at 2-2, the Surge managed a 6-4 win at Al Bagra Fortress (Search&Destroy) to stay alive in the tournament.
