WMF and Lions have tied up in an exciting inferno match-up. Unfortunately, technical problems continued altering the in-game performance on both sides.

Although initially Korean side, WMF, was meant to face Indian representative, ATE, organizers decided to shuffle things around, sending Lions immediately into their second clash of day one.

The match saw both teams complementing rounds against one another. Eventually neither Lions, nor WMF edged out, seeing the final result set at 15-15.

The Koreans kicked-off inferno as Counter-Terrorists, immediately packing up the pistol round. Lions didn't let them get too far away, yet the entire focus of the match during these first few rounds was to get an admin to pause. Finally, the match was continued at 5-3, yet not for long as things got technical again.

At 7-4 to WMF's advantage, Lions gathered their strengths, pulled themselves together and levelled up the half-time situation at 8-7 for the Koreans.

Switching sides, the match went a lot smoother, especially for the Swedes, who quickly racked up an impressive six consecutive rounds. WMF then got back into the dispute, which saw both teams finally gather an equal amount of rounds.
