Overpass (13:3 3DMAX)
BC.Game struggled from the very beginning of the map. Starting on the T side, they were unable to break through the aggressive defense of 3DMAX.

Anubis (13:4 3DMAX)
A similar story unfolded on Anubis. 3DMAX once again looked extremely strong on the CT side, ending the first half 9:3. The second half was short-lived, as BC.Game failed to regroup and managed to win only one round. The final score was 13:4 in favor of 3DMAX.
