• 3. Vitality picked Mirage
• 4. Astralis picked Vertigo
• 5. Vitality removed Overpass
• 6. Astralis removed Nuke

The Danes started this best-of-3 series energetically, and despite Team Vitality's map choice, they managed to demonstrate a powerful offense, which helped them win the first map with a significant lead. Initially trailing 0:5, the Danes rallied to win the crucial rounds on the defensive side, turning the tide against the champions of the Paris Major. The final score of the map was 13:9 in favor of Astralis.

Vertigo saw a fiercely contested battle, and when Team Vitality had two match points, Astralis managed to force the game into overtimes by winning two crucial retake rounds. However, in overtime, Vitality proved slightly stronger, pushing the match to the decisive third map.

Astralis suffered a bitter defeat on Inferno. Initially, they secured a colossal advantage with 6 rounds on the attacking side, while Vitality failed to secure a single one. However, apEx found the right words to motivate his team, equalizing the score before the second half.
