The first map was opened really well by Skadoodle who carried his team to the victory in a pistol round. Cloud9 quickly extended their lead to 3-0, but as soon as Fnatic got the big guns this lead started fading away. Fnatic claimed the control of this match making it almost one side. However, the last two rounds of the first half made it a bit balanced as Freakazoid stepped up for his team. Going into the second half with the three rounds deficit, Cloud9 was looking for the fast pistol round. But, olofmeister didn't agree with that, with two fast one taps he reduced Cloud9 down to only three players. From this moment on, Fnatic was just maintaining the lead, where eventually the map was closed out with 16-6.
The next map was de_overpass where Fnatic continued in the same fashion as they did in the first map. The Swedes had a quick 3-0 lead and with the first full buy Cloud9 started slowly waking up. At this point the match was back and forth until Sean Gares didn't stepped up and led his team to 9-6 lead. But, Fnatic once again managed to take a pistol round which gave them a big boost and Cloud9 had a difficult time fighting back. But, even with that disandvantage n0thing and Sean carried their team to 12-11 lead, but that was everything they could do. At this point Flusha got awaken and all NA hopes were gone. The final score was 16-12.
