The first meeting of the game day started on the Inferno map, which became the choice of the Portuguese team. However, BIG players immediately seized the initiative on the server, having managed to get a comfortable advantage even before the switchover — 11:4. In the second half, there was no intrigue left from the word “absolutely”, as the Germans continued to bend their line and pretty soon took the lead in the series - 16:7.

Next, the teams moved to the Dust 2 map, which turned out to be BIG's choice. However, everything suddenly turned upside down, as the Portuguese managed to surprise the opponent and had an excellent half in defense - 10:5. After the side switch, BIG tried to get back into the game, but in vain. As a result, FTW got a sensational victory at the pick of the opponent and equalized the score in the series — 16:12.

Everything was decided on the Nuke map, where everything finally fell into place. At the same time, BIG players immediately began to correct the situation, bringing the situation to an indecent level already at the end of the first half — 14:1. After the change of sides, the German team managed to keep the opponent away, thus scoring the second victory in the championship — 16:6.

In the final round, the BIG team will play with FaZe Clan, while the Portuguese team will face the Brazilians from MIBR.
