The match was opened on de_train, where nV claimed a pretty chaotic pistol round. Howerver, SK Gaming returned with a force buy, and quickly after was 1-1. This was followed by the French tec9 train and nV was once again in lead 2-1. But, SK Gaming went for another force buy and brought it back to 2-2. The boths teams were going back and forth, but nV finally managed to take the full control of this map as they crushed SK Gaming's economy and nV finished the first half on T side with 12-3. The rest was just a pure execution by the French team who took the first map 16-6.
The second map was full of the pauses which were caused by the technical issues at the venue. So, the both teams couldn't really build any momentum as we saw one round being played at the time which was followed by the new pause, and so on. However, nV had a good start on their CT side where they were up to 6-1. SK Gaming still managed to bring it back to 9-6 for nV at the end of the first half, and the Danish team was moving now to the more favoured CT side. But, nV won the second pistol round as well, and just crushed all the Danish hopes. SK did put a good fight, but still the round difference from the first half brought to nV a victory of 16-13.
