Consulate — Natus Vincere [4 : 7] Team Empire
The action in the first round began at 1:46. That's when our guys lost one operative. However, the numerical advantage did not really help the enemy: the teams made several more frags, and the “yellow-blacks” managed to defend the bombs at the end — 1 : 0! The beginning of the second round was not so successful for our guys: in 30 seconds they lost three operatives at once. Already at 1:24, Team Empire began defusing and were successful in doing so.
The following two rounds were successful for Natus Vincere: the guys carried out a positional defense and managed to hold back the attack of Team Empire. The result — 3 : 1 in favor of the “yellow-black”. This situation agitated the enemy team: and already in the next round after a slow play in midgame, all NAVI operatives were easily taken down.
The round that followed turned out to be extremely tense. All actions in it again fell on the last ten seconds, during which 9 out of 10 operatives were killed! Nevertheless, our guys stayed on top — 4: 2.
Unfortunately, after this point, Team Empire took control of the meeting. The teams changed sides, and the "yellow-black" had to besiege the enemy. The first round was on an equal footing in terms of kills, but the opponent won for the simple reason: the time run out.
