Weekend Recap: OXG becomes Hometown Favorites at RLCS Rotterdam; Breach fall to NYSL and LAG

The crowd got behind OXG this weekend in the Netherlands for RLCS Rotterdam with the squad featuring the only two Dutch players to qualify for the major!

The Swiss Stage was swift and easy for OXG, beating G2 in a 3-2 fashion, sweeping eventual champions GenG  3-0, and then obliterating Version 1 with another 3-0 sweep! Coming out of the group stage, OXG led the field in goals per game ratio. This instantly flipped them, from an underdog to one of the favorites to win the Fall Major.  After going 3-0 in the Swiss Stage OXG was able to skip the rest of Friday and all of Saturday, qualifying for Top 8 and to play on Championship Sunday.

OXG was seeded second in the bracket for Championship Sunday, placing them in a tough matchup with FaZe Clan. With the Dutch crowd backing OXG’s Joreuz and Oaly, chanting their names boisterously, they were hot out the gate, winning the first two games in a best of seven series. Unfortunately FaZe Clan was able to silence the crowd after a timeout, swinging the momentum in their favor, allowing them to close out the series 4-3, and OXG going home with a Top 8 finish. Although it was not the result everyone was hoping for, the future is very bright for this team.

This weekend also saw the final qualifiers for CDL Major 1. Boston Breach had a tough weekend and now sit 2-2 after tough matches against NYSL and LAG.
