We’re all familiar with zomblerz nation, and there were a lot of disappointed fans  as they fell in overtime to Eximius Sports on Nuke. Anybody that wanted to see a close match between two great teams was more than satisfied.

Eximius started on CT side, and they did a good job holding it down. Vu’s aggression outside didn’t result in as many frags as it did earliler in the day against Turmoil, but he did get a fair share of kills, and, more importantly, information about the zomblerz attack. Nobody stood out from the pack, but everybody about Eximius was solid this time; rotations, shots, calls, etc.

It almost wasn’t enough. As soon as teams switch on Nuke, the momentum changes. Brawwwr was a lot more energetic during the second half and overtime, and heatwave had an excellent second half, but there were some winnable rounds that slipped away. badappleS had a little mishap in the vents during a 1v1 that resulted in a lost round. It was a great play ruined by a bit of bad luck. In overtime, Eximius got a defuse while a zombler was still alive, and it just seemed like the little breaks in CS didn’t go their way.

That’s not to take anything away from Eximius. They still had to capitalize on those situations, and they did. If you’re a team playing Eximius, it’s clear you want a map other than Nuke, where Ex has a 13-11 win over Turmoil, the OT win over zomblerz, and a big win over Turmoil in CAL-I.

The zomblerz will play the loser of Turmoil/No-Namers, and Eximius moves on to play the winner of that match. Both will take place on Inferno later in the day.
