To kick things off de_inferno was on the line. Titan started as T side and managed to squez decent half-score 6-9 in favor of 3DMAX. However, the second pistol round was not smooth for the French, allowing 3DMAX to establish momentum and solid economy. With the start of buy rounds, Titan started to fight back with their signature AWP by kennyS and forced 3DMAX to play eco round, which was shut down by the ace from Ex6TenZ. The tie round for 12-12 score was marked by tense 1v1 clutch where kennyS came out on top, pulling off last second defuse as well. 3DMAX managed to stop the French streak but after the series of intense round-by-round trades Titan reached 15th win first. The first matchpoint gave another chance to the Finns who executed convincing Tec9 rush on A bombplace. The second one saw no stutter from Titan who closed out first map with 16-14 score.
De_dust2 was the second map, where Titan started as CT side. 3DMAX grabbed the initiative, securing first pistol and following anti-eco rounds. Then the Finns looked compeltely dominant, setting 12-3 score in their favor. The things went even worse for the French side as they lost 4v1 clutch in the pistol round. However, Titan refused to die and lased to win 10 rounds before 3DMax got 15th, sequentially 16th. 16-10 in favor of the Finnish team.
Everything would be decided on de_cobble, where 3DMAX won knife round and secured CT side. Titan won the first pistol and executed antieco rounds without severe casualties. Moreover, they managed to establish great moment and record flawless 10-0 score before 3DMAX could win a single round. Nevertheless, the first half went 14-1 in favor of Frenchmen and second pistol round as well, puting Finns in an awkward position of a moneyless round on an opponent's matchpoint. Surprisingly, they actually managed to pull that off and gained certain chances, climbing to 15-6 before falling to Titan.
