Cold Hearts Survive and Advance

First Round:

📍 RWE 80, Fear of God Athletics 79 (RWE leads 1-0)

📍 Cold Hearts 73, Jelly Fam 68 (Cold Hearts advance 2-1)

It wasn’t the prettiest effort for the Cold Hearts but they gritted out this must win matchup against Jelly Fam to advance to the semi-finals where they will take on the YNG Dreamerz. After only managing 23 points in the first half, the Cold Hearts turned it on in the second half, scoring 50 points on the nose to end Jelly Fam’s season. MVP runner-up Adam Oumiddoch put it all on the line, scoring a game-high 27 points, pulling down seven boards and logging a season-high five steals 🤯

After a slow night in game two, Anderson Diaz came to play in game three, registering 16 points and a team-high six assists. Asher Elson didn’t have his biggest scoring night but his impact was felt elsewhere, pulling down ten boards and also logging a steal and a block 🥶 

Jelly Fam’s season may have come to an end but DPOY Yandel German had an outstanding game for his last OTE game, posting a line of 18 points, seven assists, four boards and, in classic German fashion, a game-high six steals. Torrey Brooks Jr. led the team in scoring with 20 points but did a little bit of everything in this one with six assists, six boards and a steal 🍇

RWE pulled off an unbelievable fourth quarter comeback to take a 1-0 series lead against Fear of God Athletics. Fear of God Athletics were up by as much as 11 in the fourth quarter, however, stars Cayden Daughtry and K’Nard Callendar both fouled out of the game in the middle of the fourth giving RWE just enough breathing room to get back into the game. It was Mathias Alessanco who put in the go-ahead bucket, putting in a tip-in layup with 17 seconds remaining in the game to put RWE up for good 😳

Taylen Kinney came up huge for RWE in the fourth, scoring 13 of his 24 points in the final frame on top of the six assists and two steals he put together over the course of the game. Parker Robinson had a monster scoring night as well, leading all players with 26 points which included three made triples 👌 

For Fear of God Athletics it was Jacob Zhu who kept the team in it after Daughtry and Callendar fouled out, scoring a team-high 18 points while also pulling down five boards and generating three steals. In his first game in Atlanta this season, Aiden Bolden made an immediate impact on defense with a preposterous four blocks and three steals 🔒

The OTE Playoffs will pick back up on Friday with game two of both the FaZe vs. City Reapers series and the RWE vs. Fear of God Athletics series. All OTE Playoff games can be watched on OTE’s YouTube channel 📱
