The duel between fnatic and Team Spirit started on the Nuke map, which became the choice of keita's wards. At the same time, the starting segment remained with the Russian team, which managed to take advantage of the defense side and run ahead. And yet, fnatic managed to close the gap to a minimum, having received excellent chances of returning after the break - 8:7. The change of sides clearly cheered up mezii and the company, who began to quickly increase the lead. In turn, Team Spirit was no longer able to join the game, allowing fnatic to take the lead in the series — 16:11.

Next, the teams moved to the Mirage map, which became the choice of Team Spirit. Here the teams continued to demonstrate equal Counter-Strike, exchanging series of rounds. And yet, the “dragons” managed to run a little ahead and get a minimal advantage before switching sides – 8:7. It seemed that in the second half Team Spirit would dot the "i" and be able to level the score in the series. However, fnatic players had a completely different opinion on this matter. As a result, keita's men managed to break the opponent's economy and leave him no chance in the series — 16:9.
