On NAVI’s favorite map pick, Nuke, the Russian-side stole the second round with a force-buy on CT-side and secured four rounds afterwards, giving themselves a good start on the CT-sided map. The Brazilians managed to add four rounds on the scoreboard before halftime, making it 10-5 in NAVI’s favor. A back and forth fight all the time in the second half, saw many close rounds going FURIA’s way as they closed out the map 16-14 to wrap up the series 2-0.
