Against MIBR, they won both maps \u2014 13:5 on Mirage and 13:6 on Anubis. The team looked incredibly organized: aggressive entries, structured defense, and hardly any mistakes in key moments. senzu once again led the charge \u2014 34 kills, multiple opening duels won, and consistent presence in every round. MIBR tried to increase the tempo, but MongolZ calmly dismantled every attack.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1041\" data-end=\"1061\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-160876 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/skin.club\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot_103.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"804\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot_103.webp 804w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot_103-300x175.webp 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot_103-768x447.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 804px) 100vw, 804px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"1041\" data-end=\"1061\">Astralis vs paiN<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1063\" data-end=\"1513\">The Danish machine known as Astralis keeps rolling, even during a transitional phase.

In the matchup against BIG, they secured two hard-fought victories \u2014 13:10 on Mirage and 13:8 on Inferno. The games were tight: BIG fought to the last round, but NAVI consistently won the most crucial moments. AWPer w0nderful proved his elite form once again \u2014 31 frags and excellent impact, even in rounds without the AWP. Both iM and jL were solid in their roles as entry fraggers and traders.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1537\" data-end=\"1988\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-160908 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/skin.club\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot_105.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"804\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot_105.webp 804w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot_105-300x176.webp 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot_105-768x450.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 804px) 100vw, 804px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"1995\" data-end=\"2026\">Spirit vs Ninjas in Pyjamas<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2028\" data-end=\"2473\">Team Spirit destroyed NiP across two maps \u2014 16:13 on Train and 13:4 on Dust2. It was a complete display of dominance. donk, as expected, was the series MVP: 51 kills, over 100 ADR, and a 1.66 rating. But the team\u2019s coordination also deserves praise: chopper read the opponent like a book, and zont1x delivered reliable performances on both sides of the map.

FL1T had a huge series \u2014 50 kills and a 1.25 rating. M80 looked dangerous, especially on Ancient, but they lacked the experience to close out rounds under pressure.

In a grueling best-of-three, they overcame GamerLegion \u2014 13:9 on Anubis, 7:13 on the second Anubis (double pick), and 13:9 on Nuke. molodoy was the central figure, playing with aggression, initiating entries, and setting the tempo for his team. GamerLegion didn\u2019t fall behind in aim duels, but once again struggled to close out decisive rounds.

Mirage ended 13:9, Anubis 13:16, and Nuke 13:11. The squad led by XANTARES played with speed, precision, and aggression in all key moments. LACK1 and Norwi were on fire \u2014 winning opening duels, anchoring bombsites, and maintaining control across key areas of the map. HOTU now face their second straight defeat \u2014 and although there were some bright moments individually, the team play remains shaky.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3423\" data-end=\"3866\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-160972 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/skin.club\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot_109.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"806\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot_109.webp 806w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot_109-300x175.webp 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot_109-768x448.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 806px) 100vw, 806px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"3873\" data-end=\"3888\">G2 vs ODDIK<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3890\" data-end=\"3969\">G2 suffered a surprising defeat against ODDIK in a three-map series that ended 1-2. After a rough start on Anubis (8:13), where ksloks delivered a standout performance, the European squad bounced back on Dust2, crushing their opponents 13:3 thanks to a confident showing from malbsMd. However, the decider on Nuke went in favor of the Brazilians (13:9), with ksloks once again playing a pivotal role.
