The EF - Spirit match ended and Team Spirit was the team that advanced to the next round. The series started with the Nuke map, which was the first choice of Team Spirit, although Team Spirit had a good start on their own map, Eternal Fire was able to enter the match later and took the match to overtime, the match was played twice in overtime and the result was Team Spirit.
If Eternal had won this map, they would have probably won the maps 2-0 and they would have deserved to go to the next stage.
They played a very good game in Anubis. Eternal Fire was not very effective on the Mirage map, especially on the T side in the decider, and thus they were eliminated from the tournament.
I expected better things from Xantares, to be honest.
EF are just a horrible team when it comes to these sort of matches when they really count.
Think every single game that I have seen them play this year EF have managed to drop their performance at critical moments and end up losing in the end.
Whenever I see they are playing near semi or finals I always bet against them from now on.
It makes my wallet seem a bit more full when I do this.
So we have Team Vitality vs Team Liquid and Navi vs The MongolZ tomorrow.
As the first semi-finals match is already set with Team Spirit and MOUZ for the weekend.
