WinFakt hold M5 to a draw

WinFakt fought out a tie against Moscow Five on de_nuke, leaving both teams  undefeated and sharing the top spot of Group B at the moment. In the other match, fnatic overcame eSahara without any problems 16-8 on de_dust2.

Moscow Five and WinFakt came into their clash undefeated and with two wins each. The map was to be de_nuke, making it third time in a row for the Russians, and second for the Finns after defeating semXorah in their opening match.

WinFakt continued where they left off after defeating fnatic and they took a 7-4 lead as Terrorists, sitting in a good position at that moment. However, Moscow Five managed to get back in the game and were only down with the minimum difference 7-8 at the half time.

The Russians showed strong T-sides in their previous two matches, against eSahara and semXorah, and the trend continued in this match as well, as they won six rounds in a row to go up 13-8.

WinFakt rallied back a bit, but M5 didn't let go and they reached match point at 15-11, following a save round by the Finns, which meant they are going for the draw. That plan by Tomi "lurppis" Kovanen worked out in the end as his team managed to win the next four rounds and secure a 15-15 result.
