After the side switch, the Swedish team tried to win back; but NAVI managed to keep the initiative in their hands, and at the same time take the lead in the series — 16:6.

Next, the teams moved to the Overpass map, which became the NIP's choice. However, NAVI showed a confident start here too, managing to finish the half with a comfortable advantage. After the change of sides, "Born to Win" managed to quickly run ahead, in fact, solving all the issues. Nevertheless, NIP managed to join the game and even equalize the score, at some point risking to snatch victory altogether. And yet, in the end, NAVI showed the will to win, thus ending the opponent's comeback — 16:14.

The final game of the championship started on the map Ancient, which was chosen by the Danish team. However, BIG showed a confident start, breaking the hosts' attack with a score of 11:4.
