The only series that saw double-digits for the losing side was FURIA's bout against Fragging for Andy. Initially, the Brazilians seemed set to lockdown the series as they promptly took their own map pick of Mirage 16-3, with Vinicius "VINI" Figueiredo and Andrei "arT" Piovezan combining for an easy win.

Fragging for Andy surprised with a 10-5 CT side half on Train, initially picking up a 4-0 lead before FURIA put any rounds on the board. A win in the second half pistol round gave Andy "vSa" Xu's side a good chance to take the series to a deciding map, but FURIA were able to immediately counter in the ensuing round to take back control of the economy. 

FURIA began to mount a comeback, once again with VINI leading the way in frags as two timely economic resets crushed Fragging for Andy's economy. With the match tied up at 14-14, Fragging for Andy put their full force into one last full buy, but were quickly mowed down by VINI after choosing to rush B through a smoke at the start of the round. FURIA grabbed the last round with ease, netting themselves a spot in the semifinals tomorrow.
