Just one month ago, at ESL Pro League S20, RED Canids showed just how dangerous they can be, now that Marcelo “coldzera” David and Henrique “HEN1” Teles are part of the roster. They finished 17th – 20th out of 32 teams and eliminated both ENCE and Team Falcons before being eliminated themselves.
Yesterday, in the Grand Final of a much smaller tournament named CBCS Masters 2024, RED Canids defeated BESTIA to claim the trophy. This was a South American event that featured the region’s best teams with the exception of FURIA Esports, so RED Canids’ result was quite impressive.
The Path To The Trophy
Coldzera and his squad began the competition in group A, where they defeated Fluxo twice but lost the winners match against paiN Gaming. Coldzera did not play in these first three matches and his team had to improvise. Eventually, they secured a spot in the playoffs, where they played against Imperial Esports and BESTIA.
Both matches were tough to win. The first won finished 2 – 1 and with dramatic scores: 13 – 11 on Vertigo, 6 – 13 on Dust II, and 13 – 11 on Nuke.
The second one finished 3 – 2 and was truly epic. BESTIA won the first two maps with ease: 13 – 2 on Ancient and 13 – 6 on Mirage. Then, when everyone was sure that they would win 3 – 0, RED Canids made a superb comeback: 7 – 13 on Nuke, 8 – 13 on Dust II, and 7 – 13 on Anubis.
The best player on the server was HEN1, who finished with a score of 82 – 55. But coldzera was not that far behind him. He did a bit more often but his aim was precise: 80 – 65.
This result should give the entire roster a big morale boost for the upcoming tournaments.
