Mirage (13:9 Liquid)
On their own map pick, Liquid kept up their confident performance. Playing on the T side, they faced little resistance and secured a 7:5 lead by halftime. Astralis attempted to shift the momentum, but Liquid built a strong defensive half and closed out Mirage 13:9 without major issues.
