The first game was off to a rather active start from both teams — everyone tried to get their piece of the action. Chaos, however, was more successful, as they scored 2 times our kills by the 10-minute mark. Still, tower-wise both teams were equal, with safelane T1's being down by 10 minutes. This translated into a slight lead for Chaos, around 2k gold. However, as we went to defend our top T2, Chaos ambushed NAVI, scoring 3 kills and pretty much doubling their advantage.
After that, the game really settled down, with almost nothing happening until Chaos went for the first Roshan of the game. NAVI didn't really contest it, so Radiant had all the opportunity to push, with 7k gold and Aegis advantage. We repelled the push, and caught out Spectre and Oracle next to our Secret Shop, and they paid with their lives. That stalled the opponent for 2 minutes, but Chaos were still strong. The game was decided in 2 successive fights — Chaos were stronger than us, and the first game went their way.

The second game saw opponent surprise us with the last pick Viper, but the said hero didn't have the best start of the game — MagicaL was able to score the first blood due to the lack of regen. Overall, all the lanes were very good for us. Lina was snowballing rather hard, and bottom T1 of Chaos fell down just 10-11 minutes in. We felt rather confident for a while.
However, a few items and key levels on Chaos seemed to turn the game around for a while. They reclaimed some of the map control, but still, NAVI had a comfortable position. Before 20 minutes, NAVI claimed the Roshan after the good fight — 4 heroes dead on the side of Chaos. Lina and Phantom Assassin had an incredibly good game, shredding the opposing heroes. We kept going, and a fight near Chaos base allowed us to take the T3 towers straight — NAVI go to the decider!

The final game had NAVI dominate the laning stage quite convincingly — Chaos didn't seem to have enough regen on their heroes to sustain themselves. This allowed NAVI to be more aggressive — as the game hit 5 minutes, NAVI scored 3 skills when contesting the runes. The pressure from NAVI wasn't being alleviated by anything — we were 8-0 by 10 minutes. Adding up to the gravity of situation for Chaos, Ursa claimed the first Aegis а the game, as the opponent tried to catch up in farm.
A particularly good fight for NAVI in the bot lane pushed us even further away — we got more items. Only 16 minutes in did Chaos get their first 2 kills on the board. After that, NAVI spread throughout the map, getting more items, and scoring some occasional kills. After a kill on Venomancer at 22 minutes, NAVI went for the next Roshan. Right after that, we went for the top lane high ground — Chaos lost their top lane completely, and then mid after an unsuccessful smoke attempt from Chaos. The opponent had no means to defend, and they knew it. We take the series 2-1!
