The beginning stage of the match can be considered equal: both teams were going flat without any tangible advantage. The difference in overall value between the teams was about 1k gold.

At 40 minutes after the unsuccessful fight, our team lost the middle lane and then half of the bottom barracks. In the inventory of Templar Assassin was Divine Rapier, but in general, the enemy took control of the map.

The game came to its end on 44 minutes after an unsuccessful battle.  NAVI players died one after another, losing Divine Rapier, and decided to call "gg". 0 : 1 —  Team Liquid is ahead.

The opponent made a bet on the Alchemist, so the fact that the  Natus Vincere heroes were on par with Team Liquid heroes by 20 minutes could be called a success. But the problem was also that Alchemist was getting stronger and stronger.

On 27 minutes after the lost fight, our team lost the middle lane. The opponent went into the attack on the lower lane, but retreated. The advantage of  Team Liquid players grew to 7k gold.

Soon the match came to an end.  NAVI players were unable to counteract the enemy's farm, which was more than 25k gold — 0 : 2.
