The Swedes were, however, unable to capitalise on that as a Tec9 push saw EnVyUs equalise the score.

The Frenchmen would take the scoreline to 14-7, but then fnatic responded by stringing a few rounds together, one of which thanks to a sensational four-kill by Olof “olofmeister” Kajbjer in B.With the scoreline 14-11 in favour of EnVyUs, the French team called a timeout, and the move paid off as they ended fnatic’s streak thanks to Fiveseven ace by Kenny “kennyS” Schrub. The following round would go fnatic’s way, but then EnVyUs stalled the Swedes just enough for time to run out, sealing a 16-12 victory.The map that followed was de_mirage, where after an initial period that was highly contested, EnVyUs took control of the game, ending the first half up 10-5. fnatic kept themselves alive in the game by winning the following pistol round, but then they collapsed during an anti-eco round, giving the Frenchmen the chance to claim a 16-6 victory and take a 2-0 lead in the series.Next up was de_train, where fnatic opened up the game with an outstanding CT half, leading 12-3 by halftime. EnVyUs picked themselves up in the second half and closed the gap on their opponents, but they fell short in the dying stages, losing the game 12-16.The action kicked off on de_cobblestone, where fnatic, who began on the CT side of the map, picked up the opening pistol round.
