The game began with Na`Vi, who started out on the defensive side of the map, jumping out to a 5-0 lead as they caused Virtus.pro’s defense all sorts of problems time and time again. The Polish team then came very close to getting their first round on the board, but Egor “flamie” Vasilyev had different plans and picked up three kills in quick succession to overturn a 2vs3 situation.
Down 0-6, Virtus.pro finally landed a round thanks to two early kills from Paweł “byali” Bieliński, but that win was quickly countered with a round by Na`Vi, forcing the Poles to deal with a hard reset. The CIS side enjoyed a comfortable lead, had the economic control and were hitting their shots, so it was with little surprise that they took a commanding 12-3 half-time lead. Natus Vincere have booked their spot in the MLG Columbus playoffs after easing past Virtus.pro 16-4 on Cobblestone..
