The CIS team put in another exceptional display. They are merely one triumph away from reaching the grand final. And, that too of the massive $1 million league. Virtus.pro are qualified to the upper bracket final in Flashpoint 2. It was followed by a 2-1 triumph over BIG in the second round of the playoffs.
Both teams came into the match willing to go against the script. It was because they both won each other's map picks by massive scorelines. They were aided by support players Tizian "tiziaN" Feldbusch and Sanjar "SANJI" Kuliev. They helped to put in big numbers.
Virtus.pro was on their interlope from the start on the decider map, Overpass. And, they have held off a late comeback attempt by BIG. This helped to set up a confrontation with the winner of the other upper-bracket semi-final, presenting MIBR and fnatic.
