PERA sensationally defeated NIP with a score of 2-1 on the maps, and moved on to the next round of the 19th season of the ESL Pro League.
The start of the match fell to PERA's choice of Anubis map. Having won the pistol round, they showed that this was their peak and were ready to give a great fight against serious NIP who played with a replacement. The first half of the map was emotional and ended with PERA's advantage with a score of 8-4, the second pistol round was also taken by PERA, which meant that they would win this map by almost more than half, NIP tried to fight back but failed, taking only 1 round to defend. PERA took the lead with a score of 13-5.
The second map was Vertigo, NIP's choice, but PERA decided not to stop from the first map and took the pistol round in their favor again, but NIP managed to break their round win streak with Anubis and took 8 in a row and finished the half with a score of 8-4, showing that the defeat on the first map did not put any pressure on them and they were ready to win this match. The second half was more intense for both teams, where the game was really very energetic, but NIP proved to be stronger on this map again and won this map with a score of 13-8 and moved on to Ancient.

NIP started to dominate right after winning the pistol round, finishing the half with a crushing score of 9-3 which indicated that they could take this game with a big score, but PERA did not think so and starting from the pistol round started to dominate NIP and took 9 rounds, bringing the game to overtime. The game was very difficult for both teams in defense, the teams did not find a stronger one in the first overtime, so they went to another one, but PERA sensationally proved to be stronger there.
They will play against BIG on Friday in the lower bracket semifinals, while NIP fell to the last chance bracket where they will play against BOSS in the elimination match.
