The opening map, Dust2, began with MOUZ gaining a 2-0 lead. However, their defense quickly faltered as BetBoom forced a strong comeback to close the first half with a narrow 7-5 advantage. The second half was also a back-and-forth affair, with MOUZ equalizing at 10-10 before taking the match into overtime. In the extra rounds, MOUZ’s Jimi “jimpphat” Salo and Ludvig “Brollan” Brolin led their team to a hard-fought 19-17 victory with destructive performances.
The second map, Nuke, saw BetBoom start strong with a 2-0 lead. The rest of the half was evenly matched, but BetBoom managed to maintain a slight edge, finishing the half with a 7-5 lead. In the second half, the Russian squad dominated, conceding only two rounds to MOUZ as they closed out the game with a 13-7 victory, forcing the decider on Mirage.
On Mirage, BetBoom once again opened with a 2-0 lead, but MOUZ quickly adapted their defense to secure a few rounds. Despite their efforts, however, BetBoom maintained their momentum, ending the first half with yet another 7-5 lead. In the second half, MOUZ put up a commendable fight, but BetBoom’s relentless pressure proved too much for the German team to overcome.
