100 Thieves are one game away from the Esports World Cup proper after eliminating BC.Game in Paris, according to HLTV. The match was a highly anticipated clash between two big-spending organizations hoping to use the EWC to propel themselves into relevance. Nicolai 'device' Reedtz and Oleksandr 's1mple' Kostyliev faced off in the match, which drew solid viewership.
HLTV reported that Inferno was a smooth win for BC.Game, with Ayush 'mzinho' Batbold leading the way in an utterly sublime performance. However, 100 Thieves came back into the series on Nuke, surviving a strong CT-side performance by s1mple in the first half to take an 11-8 lead when they switched to defense. A spectacular 1v3 clutch by Jack 'Gizmy' von Spreckelsen secured overtime and reversed the momentum, leading to a clean sweep by 100 Thieves in the extra rounds.
On Anubis, BC.Game initially took a 4-1 lead, but 100 Thieves found solutions with a more proactive CT approach, granting them control of the half, HLTV said. BC.Game prevented a disaster T half with their star power shining in man-down scenarios, which continued into the second half. Ultimately, 100 Thieves won the map 13-11, eliminating BC.Game from the tournament.
