The MongolZ took control early, getting out to a lead early on Liquid's Anubis pick and never looking back. Justin "jks" Savage had a good series, going positive in both maps, but no one on Liquid could get a clutch to go their way.

M80's loss to G2 was closer but no less agonizing to NA fans. After a close start on Ancient, G2 strung nine rounds in a row together through half-time. M80 did their best to fight back, but G2 eventually closed out Ancient 13-9. M80 climbed out to an 8-4 lead on Inferno, but it was Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov who willed G2 back into the game almost single-handedly. A 20-kill second half for m0NESY punctuated a 13-11 win on Inferno, and a 53-kill series for G2's superstar.
