A surprise on Anubis and a 24-room Nuke match was not enough for hotu to avoid failure, when the Turkish team escaped spectacularly to not fall into the 0-2 group.

Aurora escaped a loss of the hotu to gain the right to enter the 1-1 group, despite losing the map pick anubis and led 11-10 in the map decided to Nuke.

It seems that the match will enter overtime after Smoke Defuse 1v2 of Suleımen "⁠dukefissura⁠" Orazaly, özgür "⁠woxic⁠" Eker saved Aurora with a 1v3 clutch when the ratio was 12-11, closed the series with the most close victory.

Hotu was completely overwhelmed in the opening match against Pain yesterday, but the team was led by Rustem "⁠mou⁠" Telepov showed a different face on the second day of competition, playing on their abilities as the 59th team in the world.

Despite the impressive hotu, Aurora's performance is still considered disappointing. Engin's squad "⁠maj3r⁠" Küpeli entered the tournament after a month of a break, and many expect them to return strong after recovery. Instead, Aurora showed a clear decline, no longer a team that was ranked sixth on the VRS rankings.

Hotu created surprises on Anubis itself

Aurora is famous as one of the strongest teams in Anubis, to the point that the caster even predicts a 2-0 victory for them.

But Mou's students think differently. They continuously won the entry Kill at the beginning of the match and took the lead 6-1.

After changing the side, Sam "⁠mizu⁠" Richardson played certainly in A Anchor position, and Awper Anatoliy "⁠youka⁠" Aprilov showed the eye-catching flick phase, helping the hotu to maintain the advantage and win 16-13-on the map they had lost 4-13 against Rare Atom just two months ago.

This continues to be another foot on Anubis with Aurora - Map played as the foundation for their promotion in early 2025.
