Natus Vincere have succeeded in the eastern derby against M5, substantiating their attempt to win the tournament further and further. Although the Russians showed their strength several times throughout the match, NS and co were not able to keep up with the fast pace.

It was one mistake by God on Storm Spirit, or rather one good gank by Na`Vi getting in superior number, which enabled them to attack midlane and take out one barracks before moving towards top. Being forced to defend M5 didn't grab a good start in the following fight either and threw the game away, despite keeping the game open until the very end.
