In the second half, Legacy, playing on the T side, managed to win a streak of rounds and took the lead at 10:11. However, Gentle Mates did not allow their opponents to push the game into overtime, taking three rounds in a row and closing the map 13:11.
Mirage (4:13 Gentle Mates)
Legacy picked Mirage as their map, but it quickly became clear they were not ready for it. The first half was completely under the Spaniards’ control, with Legacy winning only two rounds.
