Their momentum continued into the third map Bind. Vision Strikers played the first two rounds fiercely, with flawless aim and an economy advantage that even earned them an Operator on Round 2.
Kim Gu-taek “stax” carried the team through several rounds with his Faultlines and Rolling Thunder. TNL’s Yeom “eKo” Wang-ryong was commendable as Reyna, but the teamwork and aggression of Vision Strikers were too much.
Two clutches in a row by “stax” sealed the third map, Vision Strikers took the series and the championship.
“The goal was to win all competitions this year and I’m happy to achieve that,” shares Vision Strikers team captain “glow” Kim Min-so. “I’m happy to win the First Strike, the most important competition, because I’m going to try to represent South Korea on the Champions Tour next year and give a good performance.
He also acknowledged TNL for showing great form during the finals, saying, “I want to thank TNL for creating a great ‘brotherly showdown’ in the final.”
