BIG-Players (Gambit)

The first meeting of the game day started on the Vertigo map, which became the choice of BIG. At the same time, both teams showed fairly equal halves, failing to identify the winner. In the end, everything was decided in overtime, where Players (Gambit) turned out to be stronger — 22:20.

Next, the teams moved to the Ancient map, which was chosen by the Players. However, the German team showed a confident start, having managed to finish the half in defense with a twofold advantage. After the change of sides, BIG continued to stick to its line, at some point claiming victory. However, here the Players managed to find their game in order to make a comeback, and then snatch the victory at their peak - 16:14.

Team Liquid - Movistar Riders

The next confrontation started on the Inferno map, which was quite expectedly chosen by the Spanish team. At the same time, the advantage here was on the side of Team Liquid, which spent a confident half in defense, and then continued to push. At some point, the Spaniards had a chance to return to the game and catch up with the opponent. However, Team Liquid managed to take the last round and take the lead in the series — 16:14.

After that, the teams moved to the Mirage map, where the situation changed radically. This time, the Spaniards managed to immediately seize the initiative on the server, and as a result, close the first half with a devastating score of 13:2. After the switchover, the North American team tried to win back, but in vain. As a result, Movistar Riders closed the opponent's pick and equalized the score in the series — 16:12.

Everything was decided on the Ancient map, where Team Liquid players dominated for a long time. However, at the very end of the meeting, the Spanish team managed to pull themselves together and pull the game into overtime. Here, nothing prevented Movistar Riders from getting a victory and earning another points within the framework of ESL Pro League Season 15 — 19:16.
