After the side switch, Gambit managed to close the gap, but the match itself was still controlled by Entropiq players. As a result, El1an and the company managed to keep the lead on the map, and at the same time equalize the score in the series — 16:14.

Everything was decided on the Overpass map, where Gambit immediately began to correct the situation. As a result, already after the first half, the team decided the outcome of the meeting, having easily coped with the opponent's attack. After switching sides, Entropiq tried to fight, but in vain.
