Swole Patrol, Riot Squad reach WINNERS League Season 3 NA semifinals

The opening quarterfinal clashes of North America’s WINNERS League Season 3 delivered thrilling Counter-Strike action as Riot Squad eliminated Mythic while Swole Patrol dismantled Station 7, securing their spots in the highly anticipated semifinal round.

WINNERS League continues to serve as a crucial proving ground where emerging professional teams can establish their competitive credentials and earn international visibility that often leads to breakthrough opportunities on the global stage. During these quarterfinal encounters, all four competing organizations showcased remarkable individual plays and strategic depth that highlighted the region’s growing talent pool.

Both advancing squads secured clean 2-0 series victories, with Swole Patrol demonstrating particularly overwhelming form against their opponents throughout both maps.

Station 7 appeared completely outclassed against Swole Patrol’s coordinated assault, struggling to reach ten rounds on either Inferno or Dust 2. By the mid-game break on Dust 2, Swole Patrol had constructed an imposing 13-2 advantage, effectively eliminating any realistic chance for Station 7 to mount a successful comeback. Despite Sterling “sterling” Allard’s determined efforts to inspire his team during the second half, the match concluded with a decisive 16-5 scoreline that reflected the one-sided nature of the contest.

Former Ghost Gaming rifler Jason “neptune” Tran secured the highlight play of the entire match with an impressive quadruple elimination on Dust 2’s B bombsite as Station 7 attempted to execute their entry strategy.

Swole Patrol achieved this comprehensive victory without requiring significant contributions from the renowned Braxton “Swag” Pierce, as Yassine “subroza” Taoufik combined with neptune to create the foundation for their team’s success through calculated positioning and precise aim execution.

Riot Squad’s journey to the semifinals appeared more challenging when examining the final scorelines, though Mythic consistently played from disadvantaged positions throughout the majority of both matches despite Kaitlin “keiti” Boop and Donovan “zNF” Froid displaying particularly sharp individual form.

Riot and Mythic’s confrontation concluded in two maps, but a breathtaking one-versus-five clutch scenario from Austin “crashies” Roberts proved to be the series-defining moment. Isolated while defending the planted explosive against Mythic’s entire roster, crashies executed an extended flank maneuver through middle before ascending to the catwalk to protect the bomb on A site, demonstrating that the Krieg rifle—and crashies himself—should never be underestimated in high-pressure situations.

The North American WINNERS League Season 3 semifinals resume this coming weekend with an exciting showdown between Triumph and INTZ Esports, where the victorious team will advance to face Riot Squad in the next round. Following that encounter, Chaos Esports Club featuring their newly acquired AWPer Owen “smooya” Butterfield will compete against Team Singularity to determine which organization earns the right to challenge Swole Patrol.
