The last word in the map veto was for the Brazilians from Imperial, who decided to play on Inferno, where their win rate is 100% in 4 played matches, while Virtus.pro has a win rate of 60% in their last 5 matches on this map. However, this is a best of one (bo1) series, and anything can happen here - any team can surprise and show outstanding gameplay at the major. And so it happened - the beginning of the match was completely in favor of Virtus.pro, leading 5:2 on the defense side. However, Imperial rallied and not only equalized the score, but also won the first half 7:5. After the side switch, the Brazilians won the pistol round and took a string of rounds, leaving their opponents in a terrible position in terms of score and economy in the game. Imperial only needed a little to finish off VP and they capitalized on their advantage, giving up only one round in the second half. Imperial 13-6 Virtus.pro.
