The series then moved on to NIPs pick of Vertigo, where fnatic starting on the CT-side picked up the first round of the map. They weren’t able to turn it into a big lead, as NIP found their right footing and won the next three rounds. REZ propelled his side to a crucial 9-6 victory at the half. Once again, NIP took control in the second half, winning seven rounds in a row to bring an end to the map 16-6 and the series 2-0.
