At the same time, Heroic immediately managed to turn the game around, winning the force round with the efforts of Jabbi. Then the Danish team finally found itself, quickly running ahead. In turn, Team Spirit managed to get a little closer in the very end to reduce the gap to five rounds — 10:5. After switching sides, the Dragons won the pistol series again. However, here Heroic turned on at full power to show the beauty of her attack and take the lead in the series — 16:8.
Next, the teams moved to the Overpass map, which became Heroic's choice. And again, the Russian team managed to win the pistol series, running a little ahead.
