SAW has secured its spot in Stage 2 of ESL Pro League after a 2-1 victory over M80, powered by exceptional performances from their two newest additions. Oscar “AZUWU” Bell and Jan “cej0t” Dyl delivered stand-out moments, leading their team through a hard-fought series.
AZUWU took center stage on Inferno, where his dominant T-side display resulted in a 2.08 rating, allowing SAW to cruise through the opening map. M80 responded on Ancient, largely thanks to an incredible ace from Michael “Swisher” Schmid, which shifted momentum midway through the second half.
The most spectacular individual effort came in the deciding map, where cej0t delivered an unbelievable 37-kill performance in just 23 rounds, securing SAW’s place in the next stage with one of the highest frag totals ever recorded on LAN in regulation play.
SAW’s Roster Changes Pay Off Immediately
With a 3-0 record in ESL Pro League, SAW’s revamped lineup has exceeded expectations, proving that their recent signings were the right moves. The duo of AZUWU and cej0t didn’t just contribute—they were the driving force behind the team’s impressive run.
AZUWU set the tone early on Inferno, delivering a standout T-side effort that gave SAW a 1-0 advantage in the series. When the match reached its climax on Dust2, cej0t took over completely, making an impact on both offense and defense to ensure SAW came out on top in a closely contested battle.
The significance of cej0t’s Dust2 performance cannot be overstated. He finished the map with an incredible 2.22 rating, dealing 137.5 ADR, and racking up 37 frags—just one shy of Danil “donk” Kryshkovets’s LAN record.
Although SAW has yet to face the toughest competition, their results are still impressive, considering two of their three opponents rank inside the HLTV top 20. With a flawless run through Stage 1, SAW has proven they are a team to watch moving forward.
