Anubis (16:19 Vitality)
The game on EYEBALLERS’ map pick turned out to be extremely close. In the first half, the Swedish team showed solid defense and secured five rounds, which was a respectable result considering Vitality’s status. After switching to the T side, EYEBALLERS managed to reach map point, but Vitality pushed the game into overtime. In the extra rounds, EYEBALLERS were once again close to winning their own pick, however Vitality repeatedly won man-disadvantage situations and snatched the victory on Anubis, 19:16.
Overpass (8:13 Vitality)
The beginning of Overpass went in favor of Vitality, who looked confident on the attacking side. However, starting from round seven, EYEBALLERS took control and put together a seven-round streak. Despite holding a slight lead, the Swedish squad failed to convert on the T side, winning just one round and ultimately losing Overpass 8:13.
MVP of the match
The best player of the series was ZywOo, who finished the match with a Swing of +3.2% and a 1.37 rating. In addition, the French AWPer recorded the 100th ACE of his career in a pistol round against EYEBALLERS.
