FURIA - GODSENT
The grand final started on Mirage, which unfortunately ended too quickly. The thing is that FURIA destroyed all attempts of the opponent to dominate, developing its superiority round after round. As a result, at its peak, FURIA was unshakable - 16: 6.

However, on Nuke, the situation abruptly changed its direction, as the Brazilians had already taken a dominant position, tearing Liquid apart in the attack with a score of 11: 4. Of course, after the change of sides, paiN managed to close the map with a score of 16: 7 without any problems and bring the case to the desider.
The Vertigo map again made changes to the balance of forces, as Liquid already showed confident play in the first half, having issued a rout. And after the changeover, the Brazilians did not come up with anything, finally giving the victory in favor of Liquid - 16: 4.
