After a strong T side by LDLC the half finishes with a 1v1 friberg vs Happy and friberg winning it. LDLC take the first half 11-4.

The first pistol round of the second half goes in LDLCs favour after a nice few usp shots from Happy in the B bombsite. LDLC then pick up the rest of the rounds that they need to go on to match point with 11 match points for them they pick up Inferno, 16-9. Next map Nuke.

Close round after close round sees us go in to a 9-6 half time score in favour of the T side NiP.

NiP take the all important pistol round after Xizt comes up clutch in the lower bombsite, they get the next eco rounds and it’s 12-6 NiP. The buy round goes in the favour of the Swedes and we’re at 13-6, this should be NiPs map. 16-6 NiP, Cobblestone will be the decider.

LDLC bring it back to a 4-3 in favour of the French after some great holds. NiP try, try and try again to get in to a bombsite but to no avail. Then, a pause comes in for LDLC.

The Swedes win the first round post-pause, 7-4. NiP take the momentum with them and win three in a row to make it 7-6. Another timeout comes in.

LDLC come out of the time out strong, getting that momentum back and winning the first round out of the timeout, 8-6. NiP storm the B site and get the last round making it 8-7 in favour of LDLC at the half.

In the first round we see LDLC rush straight up mid get the bomb down and see themselves in a 1v2 which NiP win, 8-8. We then see LDLC try to take charge getting 9-9 then in to another 1v1 but friberg once again comes up clutch for NiP.

Round for round these two teams keep up but after a 1v1 Get_Right loses NiP have to eco to give LDLC the 12-10 lead. NiP come back with their double awp set up, 12-12 with LDLC on an eco. NiP take the gun round making it 14-12, LDLC now have to force to stay in the map and the tournament.
