Na`Vi beat GODSENT in LB final

Na`Vi beat GODSENT 2-0 in the lower bracket final after coming back on GODSENT's pick, Cobblestone, for a 16-12 win and taking their pick, Mirage, 16-14.

GODSENT got off to a brilliant start on Cobblestone, getting ahead 4-0 and then going on to win nine round while Natus Vincere could only muster up two. The 13th round was a catalyst for Na`Vi, though, as the Ukrainian side were able to win it and close out the final four rounds ending the half at 9-6.

With the momentum on their side, Na`Vi won the pistol round and the following ecos, tying it up at 9-9. GODSENT wasn't about to let Na`Vi run away, though, and the teams traded rounds as they went neck-and-neck all the way to 12-12. Na`Vi finally kicked it into overdrive and won the last four rounds to bag the first map and put themselves in the driving seat.

Local favorites Na`Vi prevail over GODSENT

The second map started out with Na`Vi taking the terrorist sided pistol, and GODSENT winning the second round, hinting at a possible close half. The fourth round went to Na`Vi, however, tying the score at 2-2 and starting a five round run up to 7-2. Lead by Ioann "⁠Edward⁠" Sukhariev and Ladislav "⁠GuardiaN⁠" Kovács putting up incredibly solid numbers, the local team went on to win the half 10-5 in dominant fashion.

Egor "⁠flamie⁠" Vasilyev and GuardiaN with two headshots on their CT side pistol round, and Danylo "⁠Zeus⁠" Teslenko with one, put the first nail in GODSENT's coffin. The Swedish team wasn't about to give up just yet, though, as they won their first gun round keeping their hopes alive. The Swedish team then won a 3vs3, forcing Na`Vi into an eco and a forcebuy, both of which GODSENT also won.

Little by little, the Swedish team started clawing themselves back in the game all the way to tying it 13-13 after winning eight rounds in a row. With the Swedish team up 13-14, GuardiaN went huge on B hitting four shots and tying the game back up. Na`Vi then put themselves on match point going into the 30th and last round of regular play, which the CIS team won.
