Match 1- Dust2
With the start of the grand finals, both teams show the same strength where after a couple of close rounds on B Vitality is struggling on the defense. Despite losing to the pistols round and giving NAVI a good break which they needed, Vitality stays in it after a messy exchange on A and another clutch going their way, this time courtesy of ZywOo. In Dust2, s1mple was playing slow in the start but later, he managed to get his first multi-kill in the 23rd round and it spelled disaster for his opponents. Electronic closed the map with six kills in the last two rounds. The first match has a win by NaVi where they took a lead of 1-0.

At the end of the match, Vitality wins the second match with a 14-6 score against NaVi.
