In what was one of the most difficult games to predict in the first round, we had Imperial facing off against Spirit on Dust2. It was Spirit beginning on the T side, getting up to a 6-1 start and looking confident during the entire first half, closing it out with a 10-5 score.
The second half started with Spirit winning the pistol round, meaning they got up to a 12-5 lead before the Brazilians got a full buy together. They were unable to capitalize on their better weaponry however and didn't manage to trouble the Russian CT side, with Spirit eventually winning the map 16-6.
