In the first competition map, BME actively selected Split, where CES had an impressive upstream before Engm on the 3rd day of competition. However, thanks to the inherent experience, BME does not allow CES to have the opportunity to surprise. The representative of Indonesia prioritizes the selection of Breach and Kay/O, 2 very strong agents with stun situations in narrow space.
Right from the first round, BME won 10-2 overwhelming victory. Not only Fl1pzjder (Chamber), also Tehbotol (Astra) also played impressively when there were 19 defeating points, thereby bringing 13-2 victory for BME. Entering the 2nd match, the situation became more balanced on the Breeze map, where Suka was chosen the familiar Chamber agent.
Consecutive situations of Suka's personal shine helped CES end 1 with a score of 6-6. It seemed like there would be a chance to turn the flag, but CES had committed a series of mistakes in the movement. Besides, expected factors such as Lok1 or Daicutee have no longer maintain good form.
Finally, Malix's army lost 13-8 and this was CES's second defeat against BME at VCT 2022 APAC STAGE 2 Challengers. In addition, BME will be the second representative of Group A to participate in the group stage after Mith. Meanwhile, CES has not been able to go far despite having a lot of experience in the Mac in the SEA and Apac arena.
After Baam and Ces were eliminated, Vietnam had only one name left, FCY. In the group stage, FCY is in Group D with competitors team Secret (Philippines), FW Esports (Thailand) and a team coming up from the start of the tournament.
