Na`Vi top DH Malmö group over CLG

Na`Vi came out of the gate looking very strong and won the pistol round as CT with a great A hold, with Sergey "⁠starix⁠" Ischuk getting three fast kills, but that meant nothing as they let CLG rally back on a force buy. The Americans went on a great run and took a 5-2 lead, and it was only then that Na`Vi finally managed to adjust their defense. The Ukrainian team would go on to equalise the game at 7-7 before CLG bagged the final round of the half.

CLG got off to a flying start in the second half and took the opening four rounds to force Na`Vi to call a tactical pause. After the much-needed break, Na`the Ukrainian side looked reinvigorated as they put together a small run of rounds to reduce the gap to 10-12.

Josh "⁠jdm64⁠" Marzano then kept Na`Vi's players at bay with a triple kill inside A, but CLG were unable to follow up on that as the Ukrainian team regained control of the match and moved just one round away from their opponents. With two key rounds, Tarik "⁠tarik⁠" Celik put CLG within touching distance of victory, but Na`Vi held strong during the dying stages and restored parity at the end of regulation.

In overtime, Na`Vi just crushed the American team, winning four rounds straight to close out the match and book their spot in the playoffs.
