In the second match, Karl showed Limmp how it’s done as he finished with monster numbers using Ember spirit. He poured 18 kills and 18 assists against just two deaths in the Game Two stomp to secure the sweep.
A five-man wipe from T1 inside Alliance’s base entering the 34-minute mark forced the Europeans to call GG.
