The grand-final match kicked off on Inferno, which was the map-choice of Astralis. AVANGAR got off to a slow start and barely managed to score 3 rounds as the CTs, with Dzhami "Jame" Ali making only 1 kill in the first half. After the break, the Kazakh team won the second pistol and following ecos, 12-6, but then Astralis restored their economy and closed out the game at 16-6.

Dust II was the next map to be played, being AVANGAR’s pick. The Danish five started on the CT side, where they secured themselves a solid lead coming into the second half as they took 11 rounds. Later on, Astralis lost the T pistol but recovered with a win in the force-buy, 12-5, so they seized the initiative and finished the match 16-5 in their favour.
