The American-European lineup, led by NAF and EliGE, dominated Group A with convincing wins over MIBR and Legacy. Their structured play, built around siuhy\u2019s precise rotations and ultimate\u2019s steady AWPing, represented textbook team Counter-Strike.<\/p>\n<p>3DMAX, in contrast, endured a turbulent road. After losing their opening series to Legacy (1\u20132), the French roster dropped into the lower bracket but quickly found their rhythm. They swept Lynn Vision, edged out Virtus.pro in a tense three-map battle, and then shocked the world by eliminating Liquid in the semifinals \u2014 becoming the embodiment of resilience and fighting spirit.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <p class=\"article-h3\">read more<\/p>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 load-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <div class=\"type3 y-red-dif hover-card card-more\">\n        <a class=\"type3__left up-to-card hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/liquid-legacy-cs-asia-championships-2025-playoffs\">\n        <div class=\"bg-bottom-abs-short\"> <\/div>\n        <picture class=\"picture object-fit-cover\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"picture__img object-fit-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-26-5.webp\" alt=\"Liquid and Legacy Advance to the CS Asia Championships 2025.

NAF and EliGE controlled mid with precision, while siuhy expertly called rotations. After a commanding first half (8\u20134), it seemed unlikely that 3DMAX could respond.<\/p>\n<p>However, the French side found their footing after the side switch. Graviti and Maka exploited short control to disrupt Liquid\u2019s defense, forcing a more cautious approach. Despite their efforts, Liquid held firm to close out the map 13\u201310, taking the series lead.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Nuke \u2014 The French Counterattack<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On their map pick, Nuke, 3DMAX flipped the narrative completely. The Frenchmen took early control, with Lucky orchestrating their defense and Ex3rcice locking down key positions. Liquid\u2019s attempts to break into the A site were repeatedly denied by 3DMAX\u2019s disciplined setups.<\/p>\n<p>Graviti was the standout performer, consistently securing entries and key trades in clutch scenarios. His composure in 2v2s and timely impact plays guided the team to a dominant 13\u20137 win. The series was tied, but the momentum had shifted entirely in favor of 3DMAX.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Inferno \u2014 The Fall of the Favorite<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The decider, Inferno, became a test of composure \u2014 one that 3DMAX passed with flying colors. Liquid tried to establish control over banana, but the French side adapted swiftly. Maka perfectly anticipated their executes, while Lucky once again rose to the occasion in high-pressure rounds.<\/p>\n<p>In the final stretch, 3DMAX displayed flawless discipline \u2014 no panic, no miscommunication, only calm precision. bodyy acted as the team\u2019s anchor, keeping their structure intact, while Ex3rcice and Graviti maintained consistent trading. The final score, 13\u20138, sealed a monumental triumph for the French side.<\/p>\n<h3>Player Stats for the Match<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-273173\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot_171.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"645\" height=\"378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot_171.webp 645w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot_171-300x176.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 645px) 100vw, 645px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>MVP of the Match \u2014 Lucas \u201cLucky\u201d Chastang<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-149790\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Lucky_at_PGL_Cluj-Napoca_2025.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Lucky_at_PGL_Cluj-Napoca_2025.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Lucky_at_PGL_Cluj-Napoca_2025-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Lucky_at_PGL_Cluj-Napoca_2025-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">K\u2013D: 38\u201332 (+6)<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">ADR: 74.3<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Rating 3.0: 1.18<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although Graviti posted the highest K\u2013D (+12), it was Lucky who symbolized victory.
