Boston Breach Clinch No. 2 Seed for Major III with Outstanding Weekend Performance
The Boston Breach had a weekend to remember as they clinched the No. 2 seed for Major III with an outstanding performance against the LA Thieves Sunday night. It’s their first win ever over the Thieves, who were 5-0 all-time against the Breach.
Led by a number of outstanding individual performances, the Breach overcame their opponents in a thrilling series that went all the way to Game 5.
In the deciding match, the Breach's chemistry shone through as they won easily in Search & Destroy on the El Asilo map. Despite only recording two first bloods for the series, they dominated, winning the first five games and prevailing 6-1.
Beans had perhaps his best performance yet since being named a starter after Major II. He led all players with 67 non-traded kills, 31 assists, 11,417 damage and a high kill streak of seven.
Meanwhile, Owakening continued his brilliant form, leading all players with a 1.21 K/D ratio. Nero also played a vital role in Hardpoint, leading everyone in hill time with 2:39.
This performance capped off a strong Major III qualifiers run for the Breach, who were promoted following the retirement of Methodz at the historic Major II in Boston. With the No. 2 seed secured, they'll now look to continue their success when the Major III commences later this week in Arlington, Texas. First up for the Breach is a match with OpTic Texas in a Winner's Bracket showdown on Thursday at 4:30 p.m ET.
