The second series of the game day between NIP and BIG took place on the Overpass map. At the same time, the German team gave a peppy start to the attack, making a solid lead. However, closer to the switchover, NIP players managed to bring back the intrigue by getting a feel for the opponent's style and reducing the gap to one round. After the side switching, the Swedes continued to break the pace, quickly taking the lead. At some point, BIG had the opportunity to bounce back, but a series of mistakes did not allow the team to return to the game, allowing the Swedish team to get their first victory in the new season — 16:12.
