M4: Blacklist International dominates Turkey’s Incendio to open title defense

As expected, defending champion Blacklist International opened its group stage campaign with a bang, dispatching Incendio Supremacy of Turkey in the M4 World Championships, Sunday at the Bali United Studio in Jakarta, Indonesia.

The Tier One-backed squad seized the early lead in Group A with a 1-0 slate.

Danerie “Wise” Del Rosario’s Valentina set the tone early for Blacklist International, scoring a quick kill on Furkan “APEX47” Akbulut’s Atlas by stealing his Fatal Links before snatching the first turtle from four Incendio Supremacy members.

The Turks eventually closed the gap by scoring a three-to-nothing advantage after a skirmish in the middle lane entering the 7th minute.

A five-man wipe in the 12th minute ended the game.

Incendio Supremacy slid to 0-1 to start the group stage.

Blacklist International will take a break tomorrow before taking on Burn X Flash (6:00 PM) and Falcon Esports (8:00 PM) on Tuesday.
