JiJieHao stun Spirit at EWC

sinnopsyy is back on LAN upsetting the world's best.

The upsets keep rolling in the best of ones in Group A at the Esports World Cup after JiJieHao stunned Spirit 13-10.

Only Danil "⁠donk⁠" Kryshkovets provided any kind of resistance as Spirit fumbled a 4v2 and had to see several whiffed shots and poor decisions from the off-color Dmitry "⁠sh1ro⁠" Sokolov .

While they made the BLAST Bounty final, Spirit were fortunate at times in Malta and were playing below their usual A game. In Paris, that collapsed far below even their B.

"We are feeling so confident," Dionis "⁠sinnopsyy⁠" Budeci told Freya "⁠Freya⁠" Spiers post-game. "We just beat the world number one so I don't know what to say anymore."

Well known for leading Bad News Eagles to several such upsets, sinnopsyy was also the star fragger for his team with a key triple in the second pistol and 95.4 ADR.

But Lebanese AWPer Hussein "⁠m1N1⁠" Hijazi was also in great form, in sharp contrast to the 0.52-rated sh1ro , as he tripled up in the key 2v4 and kept finding the right rotation as gamble stacks paid off for JJH.

Spirit have a chance for redemption in an elimination best-of-three against Luminosity tomorrow, while JiJieHao face off against GamerLegion for a spot in the round of 16.

• 0SAMAS 1v2 keeps Spirit behind
• sinnopsyy 3ks in the pistol
• sh1ro off day continues with whiffed spray
• donk deagle saves Spirit
• sh1ro dies in his own molotov
