Lemondogs got off on the wrong foot at Mad Catz CS:GO Invitational after losing their first group match, against e-Sports.rs, 16-8 on de_mirage_csgo.
There has been no shortage of surprises on the first day of the Austrian tournament, and the first round of Group D matches brought yet another one to the fare, as Lemondogs were simply no match for e-Sports.rs.
The Serbian team took the venue by storm, shouting so loud after every round won that everyone in the room knew in which direction the match was heading. After going down 11-4 in the first half, Lemondogs still tried to mount a comeback, but their plans were haulted by the Serbians, who sealed a 16-8 victory, an impressive result, especially if you consider that they lost both pistol rounds.
