Quantum Bellator Fire

Game 1 - Natus Vincere [1:0] Quantum Bellator Fire

The first map, de_mirage, started off with the pistol round going the way of the Ts, as ruFlamie was unable to pull off a 1v3, but we reset it right away. ruQBFire had to eco for the 4th round, and soon enough, we hit 4:1. The domination of uaNAVI continued, as the opponent soon was down 8:1. We rolled through the rest of the first half, only dropping the last one to finish the half 13:2, .

The second half started off with a victory of ruQBFire, as they snatched a couple of rounds away from us. However, we were still far away for the opponent to catch up to us quickly, and a couple of rounds for us had put the game to the match point, as it came to 15:4. The resistance on the side of the opponent was not enough to stop us, as we close out the game.

Game 2 - Natus Vincere [2:0] Quantum Bellator Fire

The pistol round on the second map was claimed by uaNAVI, while the next 2 were traded between the teams. Still, we managed to get ahead yet again, building up map presence, as we went up 5:2. For a while, ruQBFire were unable to get any points on board, only getting one in round 10, but uaNAVI reset them right after, taking 8 points, and ultimately taking the half 11:4.

The second pistol round was taken by us, yet the subsequent ones went the way of the opponent, but we were still up by a considerable margin, managing to shut down the terrorists in round 20, as the Terrorists ran out of options, with the last man standing killed while planting. We kept getting closer, and in the end, match point hit at 15:6. uaNAVI boasted a very good economy, unlike the opponent, and that allowed us to close the game 16:7 to move to the semifinals.
