MNM Gaming have finished at the top of Group A standings following their 2-0 victory against Soniqs. This follows 2-0 wins over Wolves Esports, Dire Wolves, and Team Liquid.
With 16 points out of a possible 16, MNM will thus be the only team at the Six Invitational 2023 with a perfect group stage record.
Individually, too, MNM's players have been outstanding, as three of them are currently among the top 10 players in the competition. Josh "Yuzus" Pritchard currently has the fifth-best SiegeGG Rating (1.25), Fatih "Solotov" Türker the ninth (1.18) and Luke "Tyrant" Casey (1.17) the 10th.
Richie "Rexen" Coronado was Soniqs' best player in the server with a SiegeGG Rating of 1.20 and two clutches to his name. The best play of the match was also his 1v5 clutch on round 12 of Clubhouse, where he killed four of the five MNM Gaming players just before disabling the defuser.
Despite forcing overtime, Soniqs couldn't stop MNM Gaming from winning 8-7 on Clubhouse. Soniqs' 3-0 start on Skyscraper gave the Americans some hope, but it quickly erased when both teams swapped sides and MNM won the map 7-5.
The former MNM Gaming player Ben "CTZN" McMillan finished the game with a SiegeGG Rating of 1.13 -- the second-highest in the match.
Now, MNM head into Day 5 with their group stage done, as they will not be playing tomorrow. This gives them an extra day to practice for their first playoff match, which will take place next week on Feb. 13.
