The Outsiders team turned out to be stronger than FURIA with a score of 2:1, thanks to which they made it to the quarterfinals of ESL Pro League Season 16. Here, dastan's wards will meet with Vitality, which, we recall, turned out to be the best team in group A. In turn, the Brazilian team completes its journey to championship, taking 9th-12th place.

The third meeting within the playoffs started on the Ancient map, which became the choice of the Russian team. But if the start in the half was left for the players of the Outsiders, then closer to the change of sides, FURIA managed to get closer and reduced the gap to a minimum - 8:7. However, after the side switch, there was no intrigue on the server, as the Brazilian team immediately took control of the game, and then took the lead in the series — 16:11.

Next, the teams moved to the Vertigo map, which turned out to be the choice of FURIA. Now the Outsiders were able to play from a position of strength, confidently playing for the defense side and getting an excellent handicap - 11:4. After the change of sides, the Brazilians tried to return to the game, but in vain. As a result, the Outsiders put the squeeze on the opponent and transferred the fate of the series to the third map — 16:11.

Everything was decided on the Inferno map, where, as it turned out, everything was decided in the first half. And here the Russian team once again showed excellent defense in order to close the side again with a great advantage - 11:4. After switching sides, the Outsiders managed to win the pistol series, and at the same time finally determined the winner of the match - 16:6.
