Pre-match Details

When choosing opponents, Eternal Fire had a choice between Vitality and Spirit, but they chose Spirit. It seems the team understood from the beginning that they would play against them, which is why they played so well. Previously, when Eternal Fire chose Falcons, MAJ3r commented:

They bought NiKo, and we have XANTARES

 

Match Details

The first map of the match was Anubis, where Eternal Fire started sharply and confidently. In the first half, they managed to win 9 rounds, surprising many. In the second half, Vitality tried to come back, winning 6 rounds, but the team from Turkey was stronger. 

The second was Mirage, where Eternal Fire again showed their skill and managed to win 9 rounds. But despite a confident first half, the second was very strong from Vitality. Eternal Fire had some issues on offense, forgetting about the B plant which the community started to joke about. However, they still managed to push through and won with a score of 13:11 on the second map, knocking Vitality out of the tournament.

Match MVP

The title of the best player of the match went to İsmailcan "XANTARES” Dörtkardeş, who played a very strong match and finished with a rating of 7.9.
