3DMAX Exits EWC After Defeat to magic

In a disappointing turn of events for 3DMAX, the French team was ousted from the EWC tournament after suffering a 2-0 defeat against magic in the Group D lower bracket. This loss marks a significant setback, particularly as it comes on home soil and without winning a single map.

The match served as a rematch for magic, who sought vengeance after their earlier defeat to 3DMAX in the Round of 32 at the BLAST Bounty tournament just a month prior. Lucas "Lucky" Chastang, a member of 3DMAX, expressed the team's disappointment, stating they had entered the match with confidence and a solid strategy, but things did not unfold as planned.

During the first game on Dust2, magic initially lost an early lead but quickly regained control, finishing the first half with an 8-4 advantage. Svyatoslav "MaSvAl" Masko played a pivotal role, showcasing exceptional performance with a 1.86 rating.

The second half saw magic maintain their momentum, with standout performances from Abdurakhim "mo0N" Issa and Nikita "tenzy" Kochenyuk, ultimately sealing the victory.

In the following match on Ancient, 3DMAX struggled to establish any rhythm. Despite winning some gun rounds, they were unable to capitalize, and magic's dominance on the CT side allowed them to secure a swift victory, eliminating 3DMAX from the tournament.
