The very first game of the night was between Na`Vi and Titan, which started off last week but had to be postponed due to connection problems. Going in to the game, Titan had a 1-0 lead in maps after crushing their opponent with 16-1 on Dust2, and the score on Mirage was 12-11 in the Frenchmen's favor going into the game tonight. The remaining rounds of the Mirage-game were not Titan's, though, as Na`Vi won five out of seven, giving them a 16-14 win and 1-1 in maps. Worth noting is that Titan's analyst, Jeremy "ioRek" Vuillermet, was standing in for Mathieu "Maniac" Quiquerez.
The last set was played on Inferno, where Na`Vi started off as defenders. Normally in today's top tier games, you see the CT side being dominant, but Titan got eight rounds in the first half, giving them a slight lead when switching sides. Na`Vi proved that this match-up was not CT based, though, when they took nine rounds against six to win yet another map with a 16-14 score to eliminate Titan and thereby advance in the tournament's lower bracket.
The Wolves were not about to give up, though. The comeback blow from HellRaisers seemed to trigger the Danes as they got an impressive 9-6 result after playing the terrorist side on Inferno. That half time score was more than enough to equalize the map score as they later on won the CT side with 7-3.
Dust2 was the deciding map, and once again Copenhagen Wolves started off as the charging team. This time, the terrorist side was played exemplary as they grabbed eleven rounds when the switch came. Although, HellRaisers got the following pistol round and a couple of weapon rounds to start a potential comeback, but lucky for Copenhagen Wolves, Casper "cadiaN" Møller stepped forward with a stable AWP game that helped Wolves across the finish line. This means HellRaisers are out of the tournament, while Copenhagen Wolves will go through to play against NiP Gaming in the next round.
Mirage followed, and mousesports were on fire. As terrorists, they picked up eight straight wins to open the map, and looked to be sure of getting a third map out of the meeting. Na`Vi managed to grab a hold on the game though, and got five out of the next seven rounds. Still in huge advantage for mousesports, the second half went off. Na`Vi picked up the pistol round and the following anti-eco, but mousesports showed their CT hold was just as fine as their charges, and won the map 16-8.
Dust2 was the last map, where mousesports continued to play great as they picked up a 10-5 lead in half time after playing as counter-terrorists. A crazy ace from Ioann "Edward" Sukhariev gave Na`Vi the pistol round though, and after that, they were pretty much on lock-down. The Ukrainians picked up a hefty majority of the half, and eventually got the better out of mousesports with a close 16-13 result.

Tonight's second match was between HellRaisers and Copenhagen Wolves, where the latter came in on the server with a 10-5 lead on Cache they grabbed last week, before the match was postponed. The lead was proven insufficient, though, as HellRaisers came back with an 11-4 score as defenders, making it a 16-14 win for them.Titan vs.

The last match of the night was another elimination game, and it sure was an exciting one. It didn't look like it would be at first, though, as Na`Vi got a crushing 14-1 lead on Nuke as defenders. But this result was answered by the mousesports side, who not only picked up the pistol round, but won thirteen rounds with only losing one, setting the score to 15-14, still in favor of Na`Vi. When all looked glum for the Ukrainians, a forced buy with only one AK-47 and the rest on pistols worked out perfectly and they avoided being on the bitter side of a comeback.Copenhagen Wolves — 1-2

The results presented above mean that Na`Vi are only one win away from the LAN finals. The only thing stopping them is the team of Dignitas. Copenhagen Wolves, on the other hand, have to overcome two Swedish giants in NiP Gaming and fnatic to get a spot in the LAN finals. All of these matches will be played tomorrow, so stay tuned for some crazy action!mousesports — 2-1
