Telluride Bush sweeps CarReapers, falls to losers final

TLDR: Telluride Bush swept CarReapers 3-0 in the RonnieInteL $1k cup to reach the winners final, then dropped to a losers final against Omnia that turned into a fight over a forfeited map.

Sunday's 3PM ET match against CarReapers was for a spot in the winners bracket. It ended without any drama.

Bush vs. @CarReapersG to stay in winners of the @RonnieInteL cup Starting now t.co/yE34iVIHzD Players pov t.co/jIno25YENQ t.co/KdliZJ58gT

Clean sweep. No map dropped, no game-5 sweat, straight through to the winners final. For the Barstool-owned Call of Duty team, the whole point of these community cups is reps between the bigger Challengers events, and a 3-0 is the best kind of reps you can get. The boys were on the stream early to catch some CDL before it started, then went out and handled their business.

The winners final was a different level. Bush lobbied up against a roster of Dak, Arcitys, dwrecks and 2real with the $1k pot getting close.

Bush vs. Dak, Arcitys, dwrecks, & 2real in winners final of @RonnieInteL $1k lobbying up now 🌳 t.co/yE34iVJfpb

That one didn't go their way. A little under 2 hours after map 1 started, Bush were in the losers final waiting on the winner of m8's academy vs. Omnia. Omnia came out of that, and the losers final with a trip to the grand final on the line went live around 8:23PM ET.

Then it got messy. About 20 minutes in, a map with the score tied at 209-209 was taken from Bush over what the team says was an accidental kill streak call. They did not take it quietly.

Baby shit soft to take a map over an accidental kill streak call in 209-209. It’s a cup for reps. Reset the map @MillyTheGunny @HideWithin etc etc

"Baby shit soft" is about as Bush as a complaint gets, and it has a point. This is a $1k cup that Bush openly treats as a practice tournament, and handing out a map on a technicality at 209-209 decides the series on something other than Call of Duty. Bush tagged MillyTheGunny and HideWithin and asked for the map to be reset. We don't know yet whether that happened.

So what's left to find out is whether the map got replayed and whether Bush got past Omnia and into the grand final. Either way the CarReapers sweep was a good result, and a bracket dispute in a reps cup is the kind of beef this team clearly enjoys. Keep an eye on the team's account for the final word.
