The first phase of the game turned out to be quite equal: both teams had a practically equal number of kills, and also not a particularly big difference in gold. However, the first two lines in the net worth rating were occupied by the characters of ru Virtus.pro: the enemy Meepo was ahead of the nearest yellow-black hero by almost four thousand gold.

Subsequently, the enemy began to increase his advantage thanks to Meepo. As a result, by the 26th minute, the "bears" stormed the high ground and in turn destroyed the two sides, and then took down the main structure. ua NAVI could not oppose the opponent.

In the second game, the early game of the match turned out to be more successful for our boys, who even had a slight advantage. However, the enemy was able to carry out a good fight, killing some of the ua NAVI heroes: thanks to this action, the gold difference was reduced to nothing.

Midgame was memorable by a large number of team fights, of which one or the other Teams alternately came out as winners. The difference in gold also went back and forth.

At the 42 minutes mark, there was an important fight, after which the enemy lost the middle lane. Our guys after this result did not stop and broke the bottom side. Despite this, the players of ru Virtus.pro still managed to restrain the onslaught of the “yellow-blacks”, killing several heroes, and also later taking Roshan. The difference in gold at the 46-minute mark between the teams was 10k in favor of ua Natus Vincere.

The game ended at 62 minutes mark after the attack of our guys on the top lane. The damage from Sniper was too much, and ru Virtus.pro could not oppose anything to it.

Third game — Natus Vincere [1 : 2] Virtus.pro

In the third game, the enemy took control of the meeting almost from the very start: the "bears" defended the lanes better and, as a result, by the 19th minute they gained a significant advantage of 7k gold. This also contributed to a large number of deaths of our heroes.

The midgame was memorable by a large number of skirmishes, which sometimes even looked a little crazy (for example, the Storm Spirit who flew into the base of our team). Nevertheless, the advantage was still on the side of the enemy, which they used and made good tradeoffs and had an advantage of 11k gold by the 39th minute.

The meeting ended a few minutes after the continued attack of the "bears" who broke all sides. Despite all the attempts to restrain the onslaught of en ru Virtus.pro, the “yellow-black” had to admit their defeat — 1 : 2.
