Match of the week: Geek Fam 2-1 Team Bosskurr
Despite dropping game one to Team Bosskurr, Geek Fam adapted by substituting Ozoraveki in place of Rumpel.
Like a cog in a well-oiled machine, he helped the team to come together. Geek Fam were more decisive, and dominated game two and three right from the get go.
Ozoraveki ended game 2 deathless on Diggie with KDA of 2/0/8, and scored 75% kill participation in game 3 on the same hero.
Standings
With a 2-0 start, Geek Fam sits at the top of the table.
They are followed by Resurgence, Axis Esports, Notorious Villians, Team SMG, EVOS SG and Orange Esports Reborn who each won a match.
Team Bosskurr, Todak and Siren Clan are all winless and currently occupy the bottom three spots.
