The final confrontation of the third day of the tournament started on the Nuke map, which became the choice of fnatic. At the same time, the Danish-British-Swedish team showed a very confident start, putting together a good advantage. In turn, Vitality failed to develop on defense, allowing the opponent to close the half with a comfortable advantage — 9:6. It seemed that after the change of sides, the intrigue would not go anywhere from the server. However, fnatic players had a different opinion on this matter. As a result, keita's wards didn't give up a single round to the opponent, quickly taking the lead in the series — 16:6.

Next, the teams moved to the map Inferno, which became the choice of Vitality. But if the start of the first half was left to the Danish-French team, then closer to the change of sides, fnatic managed to catch up with the opponent and reduce the gap to a minimum — 8:7. After the side switch, the game continued in a sluggish manner until Vitality decided on a finishing spurt. As a result, the wards of zonic managed to keep the advantage and leveled the score in the series — 16:12.

Everything was decided on the map Mirage, where fnatic finally swam. At the same time, Vitality managed to show a confident attack and close the first half with a twofold advantage — 10:5. After the change of sides, keita's men still tried to impose a free game, but the lost force-round sealed the fate of the fight. As a result, Vitality managed to seize the initiative to close the series in their favor and take the lead in Group A — 16:11.
