Another CIS team is through to the playoffs at IEM Katowice after Virtus.pro won 2-0 against Furia.
The match was fairly even throughout both maps. At times it felt like a Kaike “KSCERATO” Cerato vs Mareks “YEKINDAR” Gaļinskis matchup with both players putting up incredible numbers in the match.
On Overpass Virtus.pro won both halves 8-7 with Dzhami ‘Jame‘ Ali as the big difference on the two teams.
Next map was Furia’s pick Mirage. Here the KSCERATO vs YEKINDAR show was unfolded. But after having won the first half 8-7 the Furia engine suddenly stopped. Virtus.pro took seven rounds in a row to steal the lead. YEKINDAR continued to create havoc, and it was impossible to see, how Furia could make a comeback against a well-organized Virtus.pro team. In the end
The CIS team is now ready for the playoffs alongside three other CIS teams, Gambit, Team Spirit, and Natus Vincere.
Virtus.pro – Furia 2-0 (16-14, 16-10)
MVP: Mareks “YEKINDAR” Gaļinskis – 1.58 rating / 59-38 / 115.7 ADR
