1win won a crucial second pistol round and brought it back to within one on the defense, but failed to tie it up against deagles when down by one, opening the door for Aurora to run away with the map.
A last-second kill by Ismailcan "XANTARES" Dörtkardeş saved Aurora from botching an A hit to make it 11-8 before hitting map point.
Petr "fame" Bolyshev then aced to keep his team alive, but a 1v2 by Özgür "woxic" Eker the following round sealed the deal, 13-9.
woxic ends Dust2 with 1v2 Anubis was much less of a contest as Aurora got off to an early lead with a dualies triple by Wicadia in the pistol round and allowed just two scattered rounds to take double digits at the half.
1win won the second pistol round and tried to build a case for a comeback, but two back-to-back rounds — one with woxic winning a 1v1 clutch despite getting knifed — put Aurora on match point.
Opinion
