We close out the first day of cs_summit 7 with a brawl between Cloud9 and FURIA. Both teams seemed eager to fight, but in the end, it was FURIA to take home the win in their first BO3-series of 2021.
The first map was FURIA’s pick and to no one’s surprise, the match was set to start on Inferno. With a win-rate of 71.4% across 14 maps, FURIA have shown their strategic capabilities plenty of times. It was also FURIA to take map one, however only just, as new Cloud9 signing Erick “Xeppaa” Bach and William “mezii” Merriman did everything they could to stop them. FURIA powered through, however, and managed to take map one 16-14, as close as possible.
With both teams now fired up, the match proceeded over on Cloud9’s map pick Nuke. Cloud9 seemed more than up for the task, however, and ended up taking the second map. Despite a valid effort from 24-year-old Andrei “arT” Piovezan, FURIA never really seemed to find the answers needed and Cloud9 could walk away from Nuke with a 16-6 victory.
This, of course, meant that it was all going to be decided on the last map, Train. With neither of the two teams having much experience on the map it was sure to be an all-out brawl. Either team refused to give up without a fight as they went back and forth trying to close out the series. In the end, however, FURIA bested their opponents and finished Train 16-11 and thereby won the series 2-1
