Game 1 - Natus Vincere [0:1] Epsilon
The first game of the series did not start off too well, as we did not manage to win the pistols, running out of time; the next round followed the suit - we ran out of time again. Even the first buy round did little to help us, as we fell down further in the scoreline. NAVI only managed to come online during the 7th round, and got the second point straight away, preventing the serious economic damage. We kept trying to save and force buy, which did not quite seem to work in the long run. The first half closed with 4:11.
Pistol round of the second half kicked off with a pistol round win, but the next round got traded right back, as we had to force buy 3 rounds in, which did not pay off. Epsilon ultimately got to the first match point at 5:15, but we denied it, getting the 6th round on board and starting the way back up into the game. But the fate decided otherwise - round 25 saw the Terrorist side plant, while we did not have enough resources to defuse. The first game ended with 9:16.
Game 2 - Natus Vincere [0:2] Epsilon
The pistol round was taken by NAVI, and the next one followed the suit. Round 3 and 4, though, went to the opponent, and we had to eco, allowing Epsilon to bypass us, but only for a moment, as the teams traded rounds. Ultimately, the opponent came back on top, as we dropped 3 rounds, allowing the T side to gain a significant advantage. A couple of rounds upset the economy of Epsilon, as the half was closed out 6:9.
As the second half set forth, teams traded points, as every round was fought to the very end. As the dust settled, the round difference between the teams did not change - 10:13, and NAVI were trying their hardest to stay in the game. A couple of rounds our way, with some close plays, ensured we were in a good economic situation, and could afford to buy good weapons; that still was not enough to tie the score, as the game hit 12:14. Another loss would've meant the match point, and 2 more rounds for us allowed to tie the game 14:14, and Epsilon went for the final push, taking 2 rounds quickly, as we lose the second game 14:16.
