In the second half, FURIA failed to deliver on the T side and eventually lost the map 8:13.

Inferno (13:11 PARIVISION)

On Inferno, FURIA looked slightly better on the defensive side in the first half and held a narrow 7:5 advantage. After the side switch, FURIA tried to maintain the pressure, but PARIVISION players managed to slow them down while playing on CT. FURIA were unable to keep control of the game and lost another close map, 11:13.
