Their streak was stopped at five as fnatic grabbed a round but Luminosity answered right back. After Fernando "fer" Alvarenga's quad-kill to bring it to 7-4, olofmeister's triple kill got his team their fifth round. At halftime, the Brazilian team led 9-6.

Dennis "dennis" Edman's triple-kill paved the way for the pistol round win and after that, fnatic reached to nine rounds, tying the game. fer's awesome showing continued with a 1v2 clutch quad-kill prevented fnatic from running away with it.
After a tactical timeout by fnatic, dennis showed up once again with a triple spraydown to cut the deficit to two (11-13). Epitacio "TACO" de Melo's 1v2 clutch gave his team three match points and they finished it off 16-12.
