/The second finalist of VCT 2021: Europe Stage 3 Challengers 2 has been determined. The Giants Gaming company in the grand final will be Team Liquid, which was able to beat Fnatic with a score of 3: 2 (Haven - 15:13; Split - 11:13; Bind - 13:10 ; Ascent - 7:13; Breeze - 13:10) in a tense match. In addition, the team won the last ticket to VCT 2021: EMEA Stage 3 Challengers Playoffs, joining teams such as G2 Esports, Guild Esports, FunPlus Phoenix, Giants Gaming and Acend.
The series began on the Haven map, which dragged on for an hour. As a result, an excellent defense game performed by both teams brought the struggle into overtime, where Team Liquid's players turned out to be stronger (15:13). On the Split map, everything turned out in a similar way, until Fnatic gathered her will into a fist and took the most important round, leveling the score in the series (13:11).
The third map was once again played under the auspices of an excellent defense game. However, a successful series of rounds from Team Liquid allowed the team to take the lead and earn a win on Bind. The situation on the Ascent was already different from what it was in the course of the match, as Fnatic unexpectedly showed a strong attack, quickly gaining an advantage. It was this handicap that allowed the team to win the fourth map and reach the desider.
On the decisive map Breeze, everything went to the fact that Fnatic would be able to close all the questions quickly. However, after a terrible first half, Team Liquid showed an impressive attack and were able to make a comeback, which allowed them to reach the grand final of the tournament.
