Eternal Fire being 9:3 down reached a point where they were staring at the face of a 12:4 scoreline. They started mounting their comeback one round at a time as Spirit threw away an 8-round lead. EF players started getting more confident with each passing round and were able to deal with everything Spirit threw at them to push the game to OT. Eternal Fire in overtime managed to clean sweep Spirit on their T side leaving donk and co and tiled after winning the map 16-14.
Map 2: Nuke; Picked: Spirit; Winner: Spirit
Following a disastrous defeat on Anubis for Spirit, they were able to make a comeback on Nuke. Starting strong offense, Sprit were able to assert their dominance right from the get-go. Not so methodical but the individuals were able to win their duels which gave them the space to manoeuvre across the map leaving Eternal Fire confused on the CT side. The Russians put up a streak of 10 rounds as EF had no answers leaving them with little room for a comeback in the second half. The second half started with Eternal Fire pulling back a few rounds but Spirit stopped the comeback from finding any momentum, closing the map with a 13-6 scoreline.
Map 3: Dust 2; Picked: Eternal Fire; Winner: Spirit
Spirit continued their momentum from Nuke, putting up a fortress for a defense that gave Eternal Fire no room to get going on their T side. Failing to secure a solid foundation Eternal Fire only managed to win a single round on their offence as a donk and sh1ro managed to keep them at bay. Eternal Fire started the second half with a pistol round win but Spirit spent no time in closing it out, winning the map 13-3.
Map 4: Mirage; Picked: Spirit; Winner: Spirit
A good start for Spirit yet again met a more competitive Eternal Fire early on but managed to continue their momentum moving forward. Spirit managed to win the remaining rounds in the half throwing EF to the backfoot for the 4 time in the series. Spirit closed the half with an 8-4 scoreline. Spirit continued their domination in the second half as Eternal Fire once again had no solutions to a picture-perfect offense led by sh1ro and donk. While Eternal Fire managed to pull in a few rounds, they finally fell at the hands of Spirit eco, losing the map 13:8.
