The first map pick was de_mirage, a map Fnatic are no stranger to. The Swedes showed a very confident start to the series by picking up the first pistol round, along with four subsequent rounds. Team Conquest seemed to struggle with Fnatic’s hyperaggresive pushes into bomb sites. The team experienced issues with rotations towards bombsites and had difficulties landing crucial kills on the aggressors. The aforementioned, unfortunately for the North Americans, culminated in the form of a 11-4 score in favour of the Swedes at half time.
The start of the second half saw Fnatic secure the second pistol round of the map, putting them in a very comfortable lead over the Americans. The 17th round saw an absolutely disgusting 4k from Olof ''Olofmeister'' Kajbjer with the MAG-7, that no doubt had a very demoralising effect on Conquest. The Swedes decided to keep it short and sweet, closing out the match against the North American representative with a 16-4 score.
Second up was de_inferno, a map that really should not have made it past the veto process, due to Fnatic's indomitable dominance on it. The first pistol round saw Conquest rush into A site and secure a bomb plant, however the team did not manage to close out the round, 1-0 to Fnatic. What ensued were typical B execute shutdowns from the Fnatic B site crew, Olof ''Olofmeister'' Kajbjer and Freddy ''Krimz'' Johansson. The Swedes showed absolutely no respect for Conquest, going for aggresive pushes through ''banana'', ''balcony'' and ''mid'' while playing on the CT side. Needless to say the first half ended at a crushing 14-1, after Fnatic gifted Conquest a round after buying five XM1014s on the 15th round.
After an embarassing first half, Conquest managed to slightly recuperate their losses by securing the second pistol round of the map. They followed up with seven subsequent rounds, whipping the Swedes back into their place after a clear display of gloat. The Americans attempted to mount a comeback, however unfortunately for Conquest, the Swedes managed to close out the map at a 16-10 score.
