After a relatively easy first map, the outcome of the game was expected to be one-sided, as it saw eu Natus Vincere flawlessly secure all four rounds. However, ar Nocturns Gaming managed to strike back on the second map, showing an incredible drive to succeed and pulling off a 4-3 win.

Prominently, the ensuing two maps played out in the exact same way, as our team first secured a confident 4-0 win and then fell 3-4 in a tight battle. We managed to win back the control over the game on the fifth map and took the initiative in the sixth, but the opponents managed to bounce back from the 1-3 deficit to take the game to a decisive, seventh map.

The final map went our way, 4-1. Still, it was a very hard-fought match, with the opponents being quick to retaliate and fight back. Despite the pressure, eu Natus Vincere managed to close out the series and are moving on to the grand final! #gonavi
