Monte loses quite simply. Ancient is a FORZE horse. Probably, Monte specially removed Nuke because they were confident in Ancient. However, it was clear from the game how much Monte's nerves were twisted. Monte is the third youngest team in the tournament, and the level of expectation in this fundamental match for the community is very high. From the moments of the game (given clutches, situations in the majority, even pace), they seemed unable to cope with the pressure. The absence of a coach may be the deciding factor, although in this match, even with Lamych [LMBT], it would be difficult, as the practice has shown.
Next, Monte must win 2 bo3 in a row to pass to the "legends." The task is not simple.
