The first game of the series was marked by a significant cn Vici Gaming domination right from the start. Their lanes were a lot better than ours, so by 15 minutes, the net worth advantage on the side of cn Vici Gaming was 5k gold. Their pushing potential contributed to that as well — when the game hit 18 minutes, the Radiant were already knocking on the base door. The siege was successful — ua NAVI lost 4 heroes, only killing Terrorblade. At 21 minutes ua NAVI caught out 2 enemy heroes in the middle lane, slightly improving the situation. Meanwhile, cn Vici Gaming were taking down Roshan.

Even though ua NAVI had some good fight, our position in the game left a lot to be desired. We didn't have too many buildings left, and cn Vici Gaming maintained their sizeable advantage. The final fight in the Dire jungle seemed to start quite well for ua NAVI, but then the advantage took its toll — cn Vici Gaming take the first map.

The second game was very active from the start. Teams were looking to score some kills, and ganked each other. cn Vici Gaming were getting the better ends of the trades, and as the game continued, they went on to snowball very fast. ua NAVI were trying to get at least some towers, but even they were getting denied. cn Vici Gaming were ahead by a huge margin — 15k gold by 16 minutes, and ua NAVI weren't getting enough farm or kills. cn Vici Gaming went straight for the Roshan after they scored 2 important kills.

Soon after, ua NAVI tried to gank Troll Warlord in our jungle, but our attempt went terribly wrong — 2 heroes dead. From there onwards, it was the Dire show all the way. First, ua NAVI lost the bottom T3 and the barracks, and them mid. As cn Vici Gaming went for the final lane, ua NAVI started one last fight of the game, in an attempt to turn this around. But the lead of the opponent was too significant — ua NAVI drop the series 0:2.
