We got used to these two’s performance lately and once again they gave what the team needed. Salvador "Yurii" Gasco’s Skye performance was not optimal for the side of Case with a 0.27 rating and only 3 kills while dying 12 times. Case made an impressive start to the second half but they failed to keep the performance up as Vitality won the first map after a one-sided performance, 13-6. baddyG had 24 kills at the end of the game while holding a 1.77 rating.

Jokūbas "ceNder" Labutis was the most important piece for Team Vitality with 12 kills and a 1.23 rating. Despite making a good start to the second half, Team Vitality failed to execute their attacking strategies and lost their streak after the first gun round. Case Esports won the map with a score of 13-7 and forced another game in the series. falltw had 19 kills at the end of the last round but Berkant "Wolfen" Joshkun’s 7 first-blood performance was also very important.

Team Vitality’s comfort zone, Ascent was the last map of the series. Yesterday, they lost the first half 11-1 against FUT Esports on Ascent but made an incredible comeback in the second half by winning it 12-0. Case started on the attacking side and they picked up the first two rounds but Vitality stopped their streak in the first gun round. The first half continued with both teams winning back-to-back rounds but Vitality led the half with a 2-round margin, 7-5. Cender had a massive Killjoy performance, grabbing 18 kills while holding a 1.94 rating. Team Vitality dominated the second half and did not lose a single round to close out the series in three maps. The Lithuanian Killjoy finished the game with a 1.57 rating and 22 kills.
