Na`Vi to DHS final over Epsilon

Na`Vi started off de_mirage with a slower B attack as Terrorists and as they managed to get into the site and plant, they pulled through and went up 3-0.

The SLTV StarSeries champions have attempted to get into the A bombsite over and over in the following couple of rounds, tying the game, but another similar attempt ended up with Ladislav "GuardiaN" Kovács and Ioann "Edward" Sukhariev winning a two-vs-four once they fell back to the other bombsite.

Yet another A attack and an eco afterwards set the score to 5-4, for the first time in favour of Epsilon, but it was soon taken back to a 6-6 tie with a couple of rounds exchanged.

A split B and two more A bombsite attempts by Na`Vi in the end set Sukhariev's team one round behind as they switched to the Counter-Terrorists side.

Despite Espilon winning the pistol round due to a well-performed ramp and house push, Kovács was able to make wonders with a Desert Eagle, taking a triple while on a stack at the B bombsite.

Na`Vi went on to defend Epsilon's attacks again and again afterwards, until the score said 12-10, when Richard "shox" Papillon's team was able to take one round off of their opponents. That was when Na´Vi got back on track very quickly, making it a four-round streak to win the first map 16-10.

de_inferno was started by Na`Vi on the Terrorists side once again, and they won the first pistol to take the initial 3-0 lead as well. Epsilon quickly turned the situation around with two B defenses by Gordon "Sf" Giry, as well as a round, where one grenade put the entire Natus Vincere team on less than a hundred healthpoints in total.

The French bandwagon was stopped when Kovács opened up the A bombsite with a kill on mid, followed up by another three while defending it for eventual 5-6. Ischuk piled on with four kills with a one-vs-two afterwards, which, alongside a B push in the last two rounds, got them a 9-6 lead.

Na`Vi were unable to get past the six-round streak due to Epsilon winning their Terrorists pistol round, but the Frenchmen met with a strong reply in the second round by four CZ-75s for 12-7.

Epsilon played the rotation game in the following round, and were able to win it despite being down two-vs-three on the A bombsite to make it 12-8. From there on though, the defense was too strong for Epsilon to handle, as all of the remaining rounds went into the hands of Natus Vincere, who moved on to the grand final after a 16-8 score.
