The majority-Russian squad had an impressive run to make it this far, however, battling through the open and closed qualifier to secure a spot at the event, only to find itself in the 1-2 pool after losses to BETBOOM and Aurora .

They then breezed past The MongolZ and DENDELE to make the playoffs, where Vitality and FUT were impressively put to the sword in 2-0 victories.

Aleksandr "⁠KaiR0N-⁠" Anashkin doubles his kill count as Nemiga reduce deficit to three rounds. A 3v5 conversion for Nemiga , who are staying in the game courtesy of some fantastic play by Beksultan "⁠khaN⁠" Ospan .

YEKINDAR went 17-2 after FURIA went down 2-9 to lead the comeback, adding another superb map to his monster grand final statline. FURIA's Mid focus has come back to bite them as Nemiga convert the 5v5 postplant.

Opinion

Fictional bylines. Each take uses a line above and adds no facts.

Team Vitality still has to answer for this: "12:00 If you have tuned in for just the grand final, no one can begrudge you for being surprised at Nemiga being in a grand final." That is the soft spot on the card. Nothing else in these lines closes it.
