Another round grind between these two Russian representatives on de_mirage. The first half saw Quest run away with a three round lead on the T side, giving them an advantage going into the second half of the map. Both teams demonstrated decent CS:GO, however in conclusion Quest cut off their countrymen with a 16:14 score.
Match #3 - Winner: Method (16:11, 16:14) - Best of three
Method vs. Quest
A series of three maps cut short by the recently signed Method roster by showing dominance over their opponents. First map was de_train, where we saw Method demolish Quest in the first half on their CT side. Very effective side holds and trades lead to this surplus, giving the team a mental boost going into the second half. Method had some difficulties closing out the match, however they managed to land themselves the four rounds they needed to close out the first map. 16:11 to Method on de_train.
Next up was de_dust2, a map that was a very close call for the victors. Quest showed a stellar T side on the map, landing the team 10 rounds and a good morale boost going into the second half. Unfortunately for them, Method composed themselves mentally and played out of their mind, securing the much needed eleven rounds, closing out the second map and consequently the series.
Match #4 - Winner: Rebels (16:11, 16:12) - Best of three
Rebels vs. Binary Dragons
A similar story to the previous match in terms of the amount of maps played, the clearly Ukrainians weren't here to play around. First around was de_cobblestone, where Rebels showed a very strong T side on the CT biased map by securing eight out of fifteen rounds in the first half. After this half the Ukrainians simply held bomb sites and played text book CS:GO, securing the first map of the series.
Second, and finally, was de_mirage. A similar situation to the previous map occured, where Rebels secured eight rounds in the first half on the CT side and polished the plate 8:5 in the second, taking away the best of three series and sending the Russian roster packing home.
