Tournament events (relevant above)

22:35 Jame become the best player of Dust 2

Yes, and in all three maps, too. No wonder he received the status of the most valuable player of the tournament!

22:30 Dust 2 became too easy for AVANGAR and as a result, this team became the champion of the tournament. That very long-awaited moment:

21:15 The Inferno card has come to an end. forZe expectedly took its peak. CIS teams will fight in the third map. Soon we will watch Dust 2. almazer played very well in this map and almost reached the mark of 30 kills.

20:00 The first card went very tight, but AVANGAR took their peak. 1-0 in favor of the Kazakhs. We are waiting for the next card!

19:55 While there is a fierce battle between CIS teams in Moscow, the legendary Brazilian player coldzera is relaxing with his friends in a computer club at a tournament. Among them, by the way, there is NiKo!

19:40 Interesting fact: in the finals of the tournament, teams play, which were supposed to fight each other in the Play-In. For this, it is really worthwhile to thank the French who refused to participate in the BLAST Pro Series Moscow 2019.

19:25 Handsome -2 performed by Jame with AWP and a decisive minus from qikert allow closing the first half with a score of 8-7 in their favor.

19:10 Zeus disconnected

18:45 s1mple summed up the performance of NAVI.

18:20 Mapveto is over. AVANGAR banned Nuke and forZe banned Vertigo. AVANGAR kicked Overpass, and forZe opted for Inferno. On the second wave of bans, AVG and forZe banned Mirage and Train. Dust 2 is the last.

18:10 In the BLAST Pro Standoffs duels, Ninjas in Pyjamas won. It is noteworthy that in the battle between Zeus and GeT_RiGhT the Swede won the victory dry, that is, with a score of 7-0. The captain of the Swedish team shared that this was a very important confrontation for him and he was very pleased that he defeated Daniil Teslenko.

17:15 forZe were unable to defeat the MIBR, taking only 9 rounds from them. AVANGAR beat ENCE with a score of 16-13, and Natus Vincere were defeated in the last match. NiPs triumphed in the match against the Born to Win, preventing their opponents from taking more than 9 rounds.

• Natus Vincere vs NiP

16:15 We have to look at the last matches of the group stage. forZe secured their access to the grand finals, and Natus Vincere in any case will miss the final stage. The game left AVANGAR, ENCE, MIBR and Ninjas in Pyjamas. forZe will fight MIBR on Dust 2, just like ENCE with AVANGAR. Born to Win will perform at Nuke vs. NiP.

16:00 The fourth round ends without a draw. forZe defeated Natus Vincere with a score of 16-7, AVANGAR beat MIBR with a score of 16-9, and ENCE did not allow NiP to take more than 8 rounds.

15:55 Natus Vincere could not win, which could lead them to the grand finals. Zeus will end his career without a beautiful victory in the end. 30 seconds - that is how much it took forZe to destroy the Born to Win in the last round.

15:45 Sometimes teams need to come to not quite familiar decisions. forZe, for example, having in stock many rounds, decided not to spend the specially allotted time on a tactical pause, but took it right during the round.

15:10 Matches of the fourth round began. Ninjas in Pyjamas and ENCE will play on Dust 2. MIBR and AVANGAR on Mirage, and Natus Vincere are opposed to forZe players on one of their favorite cards - Nuke. This battle will determine the future of NAVI in this tournament.

14:40 AVANGAR triumph over Natus Vincere. Now NAVI are in sixth place in the standings, and their chances of reaching the grand final are ever less.

14:35 The confrontation between ENCE and MIBR, as well as the battle forZe with NiP came to an end and ended in a draw. The teams received one point each and thus forZe are still in the lead.

13:30 The first matches started
