The match was opened with de_cache where VP kicked off on CT side. Neo and byali made some impressive headshots in the pistol round and they just rolled on to 12-3 at the half time. It's also important to say that Virtus.pro was showing a great teamplay, all of their players were on fire. We could see TaZ making some nice kills, same as pasha clutching the rounds. German players had nice ideas over at T side, but they just couldnt score more than a 3 rounds. The second half brought a bit more balanced match, but in the end VP took 4 more rounds which was enough for 16-9 and a 1-0 lead in this best of three series.
