Spirit took on the Norwegians from Apeks in the early game.
The Russians dominated the server on Dust2, where they steamrolled Apeks 16-5. On Train, the roles were initially reversed, but on Spirits CT-side they managed to turn the match around and claimed a 2-0 victory. The highest fragger was Nikolay “mir” Bityukov with 45 kills on the two maps.
Another Russian team made a short process in their game. Gambit was the better team against Nemiga, who never really got the momentum going. Gambit won 16-8, 16-10.
The two teams are now ready for the Semi-Finals at the $100.000 tournament, DreamHack Open. The two other teams for the playoffs will be found tonight.
