Virtus.pro over dignitas to G3 final

Virtus.pro entered the first map, de_dust2, with a short rush, where they met with a defence, although Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski showed a smart play thanks to a smoke while on a one-vs-two.

Dignitas didn't take any chances and evened it up right in the following round with a couple of CZ-75s and started capitalizing on that. First gunround win in a two-vs-two and a couple of long pushes resulted in 8-1 in the Danes' favor before VP took a stand.

Two short pushes in a row were intervened by Henrik "⁠FeTiSh⁠" Christensen's one-vs-two, where he played for time as the Terrorists only had ten seconds left on the timer, and dignitas were back on track at 9-3. All of the remaining rounds went their way as well, despite Pogorzelski's double entry, when dignitas defused in a smoke in a one-vs-two, and Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz finished the half with two rounds, where he got seven kills combined.

Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen's triple in the second pistol almost secured the win for the Danish powerhouse. It only took three more rounds for them to take the remaining two rounds at 16-7 not long after Reedtz ended up in a funny situation while having no bullets left in his CZ-75.

Switching over to de_cache, dignitas' B play wasn't nearly as successful as planned due to VP's retake and a defuse, from where on it was the Poles' game. Filip "⁠NEO⁠" Kubski's four kills on B and Paweł "⁠byali⁠" Bieliński's retake on a two-vs-three rocketed Virtus.pro to a 7-0 lead.

Philip "⁠aizy⁠" Aistrup and Reedtz then combined for five while attacking the A bombsite, but VP didn't leave any more room to breathe for five more rounds as they continued to dominate dignitas over and over. Only an A split worked out for dignitas before halftime, but the last round was taken by Kubski and company yet again, resulting in a 13-2 halftime score.

The second map was over almost sooner than it started, as the second pistol of map two went the Poles' way on the B bombsite, and the first and only gunround was dealt with in less than ten seconds after it was executed, as VP tied the scores at 16-2, 1-1.

The series was decided on de_inferno, where Virtus.pro started off strongly as Terrorists, wining both the first pistol and first gunround to take a 4-0 lead. Their opponents took two rounds in a row while defending each bombsite in a close manner, although the following three gunrounds were almost a complete mop up by the Danes for 4-7. 

FeTiSh then managed to pile onto the Danish bandwagon, who seemed to have the bombsite locked up, when he won a one-vs-one for 4-8. Despite VP getting one round, dignitas took it right back for 5-9 and finished the last round with another win, as they switched over to Terrorists with a five-round lead.

Their A attack was met with almost no defence at all, as they planted in a five-vs-five, which they were able to turn into their favor only to allow Pogorzelski to give them a big surprise on the B bombsite with four quick P250 headshots for 11-6.

A double eco by dignitas was followed up by two gunrounds where they got mowed down mostly thanks to the Bieliński-Jarosław "⁠pashaBiceps⁠" Jarząbkowski duo on the A bombsite. Kubski's double entry on banana allowed them to take a lead again for the first time after eighteen rounds, but dignitas tied it at 12-12 in the following round.

From there on nothing was working for them despite Reedtz's entries, as the same man failed to win a one-vs-two, which forced them on eco which was soon turned into three match points and a match win for Virtus.pro at 16-12.
