Ancient (13:11 B8)
The opening map was already very competitive. B8 started on the T side and managed to secure the majority of rounds in the first half, closing it out 8:4. This was a comfortable lead to potentially finish the map without major issues. However, in the second half, the French squad responded strongly on their T side. B8 were close to letting the game slip into overtime, but managed to hold on and close the map 13:11.
Inferno (3:13 3DMAX)
On Inferno, the Ukrainian team looked like the complete opposite of what they showed on the first map, as 3DMAX took full control from the very beginning. The first half ended in a dominant 11:1 scoreline for the French side. After the side switch, B8 never really found a way back into the game. Final score: 13:3 for 3DMAX, tying the series 1-1.
Nuke (6:13 3DMAX)
The decider on Nuke once again went largely under 3DMAX’s control. The French team dominated the first half on the CT side with a 10:2 lead. B8 attempted to replicate that success after switching sides, but without much impact. Final score: 13:6 in favor of 3DMAX.
Match MVP
The standout player of the match was Graviti, who finished the series with 73 ADR and a 1.37 rating.
This is an important win for 3DMAX, bringing them to a 2-1 record. A victory in their next match would secure them a spot in the playoffs. Meanwhile, B8 find themselves in a tougher position at 1-2, where their next match could be their last.
