Quantum Bellator Fire

GAME 1 - natus vincere [1:0] quantum bellator fire

The pistol round of the first half went the way of the CTs, as we went too aggressive and made a couple of mistakes which cost us the round; the next one still went our way, ultimately forcing an eco sometime later. ruQBFire managed to get their second point only at the 5th round, with reset coming in the next round by us. However, slowly but surely, the opponents managed to bring the score all the way to the draw - 5:5, and seized a 1 round lead, which did not last long - the half ended with 8:7.

First round for us as CTS had us claim the point quite swiftly, thanks to very good positioning. The streak continued, as ruQBFire was unable to get much done, while uaNAVI kept getting pickoffs. However, the game was not totally one-sided, as the Ts were getting some points their way, but our lead was still quite comfortable. The match point came 23 rounds in, 15:8, and there was no lack of determination on our side as we close the game 16:8.
