Inferno (8:13 PARIVISION)
On their opponent’s pick, PARIVISION looked sharper in terms of firepower. They secured a slight 7:5 lead in the first half. After the side switch, NAVI managed to tie the score at 8:8, but failed to capitalize on their momentum and eventually lost 8:13.

It seemed like PARIVISION wouldn’t even try to mount a comeback after the switch, but they managed to win a few rounds.
