ESL Pro League S18: Semifinals vs. Monte
The Ukrainian derby will be played in the semifinals of the last CS:GO tournament. The start of the match against Monte is scheduled for 15:30, the format - best of 3.
Born to Win are undefeated in this tournament. After a clean victory in Group C, our team defeated Eternal Fire in the quarterfinals on two maps (16 : 7 Anubis, 16 : 10 Nuke).
Monte became the last team of Group B to qualify for the playoffs. The Ukrainian team lost to BIG (1 : 2) and MIBR (1 : 2) and got into the "last chance" bracket. There the boys not only knocked Heroic out of the tournament (2 : 1), but also took revenge on the Brazilian MIBR (2 : 0). The next stage was finally successful for Monte: the team didn't let Fnatic (2 : 1) and Complexity (2 : 1) advance further, and then created a sensation by beating Team Vitality in the quarterfinals (2 : 0).
The last match of the teams ended in a humiliating defeat for NAVI. The teams met in the group stage of BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, where Born to Win lost on two maps (12 : 16 Anubis, 2 : 16 Nuke).
We believe that the updated roster will be able to take revenge on their opponents and secure NAVI's first final this year!
