The final match of the first round of the playoffs started on the Mirage map, which became the choice of the Ukrainian team. However, the start was entirely left to the Heroic players, who managed to keep the advantage — 9:6. After switching sides, the teams continued to exchange a series of rounds. But here the "Born to Win" joined the game, who managed to make the final comeback and take the lead in the series - 16:14.

The teams then moved on to Inferno, which turned out to be Heroic's choice. Now the Ukrainian team started right off the bat, having managed to close the first half with a comfortable advantage — 9:6. After the change of sides, the game was again divided into segments. And yet, in the very ending, Heroic managed to take control of the game and equalize the score in the series - 16:14.
