The second confrontation of the game day started on the Mirage map, which became the choice of the Russian team. At the same time, the first half was held in a bitter struggle, since both teams could not break each other's economy and exchanged in a series of rounds. And yet, the "dragons" managed to cope with the opponent in order to get a minimal advantage before switching sides - 8:7. However, in the second half, the intrigue quickly disappeared from the server, since Ninjas in Pajamas again did not come up with anything in the attack. In turn, Team Spirit players played confidently on defense, thanks to which they closed their own pick with a comfortable score and took the lead in the series — 16:9.

Next, the teams moved to the Nuke map, which turned out to be the choice of Ninjas in Pajamas. Once again, the Swedish team experienced problems in attack, for a long time running into well-coordinated defensive actions. In turn, Team Spirit slowed down a bit, allowing the opponent to close the gap to five rounds — 10:5. After the side switch, the Russian team quickly got down to business, showing several confident rounds and receiving a huge number of match points. Here, Ninjas in Pajamas failed to return to the game, allowing Team Spirit to get the second victory in the championship — 16:7.
