Every series in the bracket is a best of 3, and the draw did Bush no favors. ZooMaa's team came in with Crimsix and kaysan, and then subbed in World Champion Octane at the last minute. That's a roster with a pile of World Championship rings. Bush C was 4 content guys and a lot of confidence.

The confidence didn't last long. Map 1 was over almost as soon as it started, and the org didn't pretend otherwise. It blamed the connection, shrugged and moved on to Map 2.

Blink and you might’ve missed Map 1… Ping cheese tho, all good. Onto Map 2

Map 2 went better. Bush got on the board and actually took a round off a lobby full of champions, which is more than most creator teams can say. But it ended there. The series went to ZooMaa's team, the GGs went out to ZooMaa, Crimsix, kaysan and John287, and Bush C headed to the losers bracket.

Double elimination means a bad first round isn't the end, and the losers run is where the boys played their best ball of the day. Losers Bracket Round 1 started a little after 5 ET, and Bush was still going well into the evening. Late in the night Sas came up with the play of the day for Bush, taking out 3 to close out a round against Boze and his team.

Sas took out 3 to secure a round vs. Boze and co. 🥶

So it's not a title run yet, but it's not dead either. Bush C took a beating from a stacked team and kept winning rounds in the losers bracket after that. The thing to watch is how deep the losers run goes before the creator squad runs out of lives.
