Navi started strong on their map pick, Train, picking up the pistol round and cleaning up the following eco rounds to get up to an early 3-0 lead on their CT side. Momentum seemed to be shifting in favor of Navi when they picked up the first gun round, however Flipsid3, led by veteran Georgi "WorldEdit" Yaskin picked up the following five rounds in extraordinary fashion to finally take the lead 5-4. Navi was able to retain some control on the match thanks to a quad kill by Danylo "Zeus" Teslenko and they would eventually close out the half with a decent score for both sides, 9-6, on CT.
Flipsid3 was able to even out the score on their CT side before Navi picked up the first gun round to regain a slim lead of 10-9. With the first gun round win, Navi took control of the map and getting the edge when rounds when back and forth, eventually winning the map 16-13.
Navi started strong on the CT side of Mirage, Flipsid3’s pick, as well, picking up the pistol. Surprisingly, Flipsid3 were unable to conjure up a single successful site take for thirteen rounds and Navi took a commanding 13-0 lead. Flipsid3 managed to recover the last two rounds of the half but a comeback from an 11 round deficit against a relentless Navi T side seemed very unlikely.
Navi resumed their rampage, picking up the pistol on T side, going up 14-2. Flipsid3 could not mount a comeback and Navi closed out the series with an unprecedented 16-2 on Flipsid3’s map pick.
