Spirit wins intense battle against NAVI to qualify for Royal Arena
The Russian team became the second to reach the last stage of the Copenhagen Major.
After a long and grueling match, Spirit came out on top in their encounter with NAVI in the 2W-0L bracket.
The match started on Nuke with an overtime win for NAVI. Justinas "jL" Lekavicius went completely bonkers with a 40-19 K-D score.
The problem for NAVI was, that the Lithuanian was the only player from NAVI, that really popped off. Ihor "w0nderful" Zhdanov also had his moments, but against both Dmitriy "sh1ro" Sokolov and Danil "donk" Kryshkovets in a great form, NAVI had to see their new CIS rivals run away with the victory after a 13-9, and 13-7 score on Ancient and Mirage in favor of Spirit.
Spirit join MOUZ in the 3-0 bracket, and can now look forward to the Quarter-Finals at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen next week.
NAVI now has a 2W-1L record, and will face Cloud9 tomorrow for a spot in the Playoffs.
