MIBR lost both pistol rounds on Cache to Virtus.pro, but still secured a convincing, 16-11 victory and advance to the grand final. Meanwhile, Cloud9 closed out the game against Space Soldiers on Mirage 16-11.
Despite a good opening to the match by Virtus.pro, as they won the pistol and went 3-0 up on the T side of Cache, it was MIBR who was in control of the early portion of the map, rolling over the Poles in rifle rounds (7-3). That is when Filip "NEO" Kubski, Michał "snatchie" Rudzki and Michał "MICHU" Müller combined on an A site split to get Virtus.pro their first rifle round. However, no momentum was built as the Poles wasted a 5v3 advantage and then lost a 2v1 clutch to Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo, allowing MIBR to finish the half on a high, 10-5 up.
After the switch, Virtus.pro once again won the pistol and converted for a 3-0 start, but just like in the first half, it was all about MIBR when the rifles came into play and they shortly made the score 13-8. Virtus.pro won the following round and broke MIBR's money, but they couldn't hold against a simple B rush and allowed the American team to close out the game shortly, 16-11.

Space Soldiers and Cloud9 faced off on Mirage, with the Turkish side bursting out on the A site and winning pistol to the jubilation of the local fans. The happiness would be short-lived, though, as Robin "flusha" Rönnquist's two Scout headshots helped Cloud9 to bounce straight back.
The American-Swedish team would then go on to win twelve out of the next thirteen rounds, showing absolute dominance on the CT side, with William "RUSH" Wierzba proving to be a thorn in Space Soldiers' side with 20 kills in the first half. Space Soldiers switched to the defensive side 12-3 down, but got a lifeline as Ahmet "paz" Karahoca and Buğra "Calyx" Arkın combined to win the force-buy.
Maikil "Golden" Selim and co. then struggled to break through the defences for quite some time, Engin "MAJ3R" Küpeli's side was mounting a serious comeback, but couldn't take it all the way and lost the game in the end, 16-11.
