Well, now the teams will meet for the eighth time to try to reach the grand final of such an important championship.

In the course of the current championship, Vitality did not suffer a single defeat, as well as gave away only two cards. Well, in the quarterfinals, the Danish-French team dealt with the Outsiders, showing a strong-willed character and a desire to win.

In turn, NiKo and the company also went through the group stage without a single defeat, even more without losing maps. Well, on the eve of G2 Esports managed to outplay NAVI, thereby knocking out the main contender for victory.
