paiN win the first-ever Brazil v. Portugal Major derby

PAIN ADVANCE TO ELIMINATION STAGE!

The Portuguese stood no chance on Nuke.

paiN are the first Brazilian squad to qualify for the next stage of the PGL Major Copenhagen after they bested SAW with a clean 2-0 win, as the Portuguese squad couldn't make Nuke, their own pick, competitive. paiN were regarded as one of the weaker teams, with many fans choosing them as a 0-3 team on their Pick' Ems.

The series started off on Vertigo, picked by paiN, with the Brazilians taking an early 3-0 lead which was quickly tied by the Portuguese. After a couple of rounds were traded, paiN would turn up a gear and finish the half with a 7-5 lead, going into the CT-side. That second half began with paiN reaching 11 before SAW could get back on the board, but when they did, SAW were very close to tying the game at 9-11 when another couple of rounds were traded and paiN ended up winning the map 13-10.

Nuke, although picked by SAW, was paiN's show, once again. Both teams have been looking very good on the map, but with the Brazilians starting on the favorable CT-side, they were off to a 7-0 lead before SAW could win three straight rounds. SAW climbed back a little bit as they cut the lead to 9-7, but paiN went back to the attack and closed the game 13-7.
