Down by half in the second half, compLexity refused to let up, with strong picks from Shahzeb "ShahZaM" Khan leading the team to a 14-11 lead, with match point nearly in reach. compLexity were unable to reach match point however, as eUnited pushed through the last five rounds to take the lead and win the map 16-14, in spite of compLexity's comeback, tying up the series 1-1.
eUnited maintained their momentum going into Inferno, immediately taking the first four rounds on the CT-side with Brandon "Ace" Winn at the helm. Bradley "ANDROID" Fodor responded, giving compLexity five straight rounds of their own and the lead 5-4. After a few traded rounds, compLexity ultimately took the lead, ending the half 9-6.
Ace did not let up in the second half, guaranteeing his team the sceond pistol round with three kills in the post-plant, followed by two more rounds. With the score now tied 9-9, compLexity took back control of the match along with six straight rounds of their own, putting them at match point. On their last leg, eUnited pulled off one more round, but ultimately fell in the subsequent round, losing Inferno 16-10 and giving compLexity the series 2-1.
