Degster dominates again to push OG past IHC to final Challengers Stage round of IEM Rio Major
To kick off day three of the Challengers Stage of the IEM Rio CS:GO Major today, OG and IHC Esports met in the first elimination match of the day. For one team, it’s the end of the road. But for the other, it means one final chance to reach the Legends Stage.
Both teams entered the series on reverse trajectories. OG won their opening best-of-one against Grayhound but lost the next two to Fnatic and FURIA to end up in the 1-2 poll, the latter of which was a heartbreaking overtime loss in front of a delirious Rio crowd. IHC took the opposite path, losing their first two games but rallying with a comeback, multiple-overtime win against crowd favorites 00 Nation.
