controlled performance against FUT, winning both maps with strong mid-round discipline and consistent individual impact.<\/p>\n<h3>Dust2 \u2014 dominant start (13\u20135)<\/h3>\n<p>The series began on Dust2, where 3DMAX immediately established control. FUT struggled to find openings on their T side as 3DMAX repeatedly shut down mid and long control. Bryan \u201cMaka\u201d Canda and Pierre \u201cEx3rcice\u201d Bulinge consistently won opening duels, allowing 3DMAX to dictate the pace of the map. FUT never managed to stabilize their economy and the French squad quickly closed the map 13\u20135.<\/p>\n<h3>Ancient \u2014 resistance but same outcome (13\u201311)<\/h3>\n<p>The second map Ancient proved far more competitive. FUT found more success early and managed to keep the scoreline close through aggressive mid control and better trading. However, 3DMAX maintained composure in the crucial late rounds. Several strong defensive holds prevented FUT from completing their comeback attempt, allowing 3DMAX to secure a 13\u201311 victory and complete the sweep.<\/p>\n<h3>Match statistics<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-366194\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot_341.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot_341.webp 580w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot_341-300x176.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Player of the Match \u2014 Bryan \u201cMaka\u201d Canda<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-362734\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Maka_at_PGL_Cluj-Napoca_2025.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Maka_at_PGL_Cluj-Napoca_2025.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Maka_at_PGL_Cluj-Napoca_2025-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Maka_at_PGL_Cluj-Napoca_2025-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Across two maps:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">30\u201322 K-D<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">+2.51% swing<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">74.8 ADR<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">81.0% KAST<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">1.18 rating<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The victory pushes 3DMAX to a 2\u20131 record in the Swiss stage, while FUT drop into the elimination bracket.<\/p>\n<h3>NAVI 2\u20130 B8<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-323555\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/54970540387_16c49be252_k.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/54970540387_16c49be252_k.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/54970540387_16c49be252_k-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/54970540387_16c49be252_k-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/54970540387_16c49be252_k-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/54970540387_16c49be252_k-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Natus Vincere followed with a composed victory over B8, controlling the series through superior structure and stronger individual performances.<\/p>\n<h3>Mirage \u2014 explosive opener (16\u201314)<\/h3>\n<p>The series started on Mirage, B8\u2019s map pick. Despite the map choice, NAVI quickly established control through aggressive mid pressure and confident site executions. B8 managed to keep the score close with several individual plays from npl and kensizor, but NAVI\u2019s experience in late rounds proved decisive as they secured the opener 16\u201314.<\/p>\n<h3>Inferno \u2014 complete control (13\u20137)<\/h3>\n<p>On Inferno, NAVI looked far more comfortable. Their defensive setups shut down B8\u2019s attempts to take banana control, while coordinated retakes prevented the underdogs from converting several post-plant situations. NAVI steadily built a lead and eventually closed the map 13\u20137 to secure the series.<\/p>\n<h3>Match statistics<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-366175\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot_340.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"581\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot_340.webp 581w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot_340-300x176.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 581px) 100vw, 581px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Player of the Match \u2014 Valeriy \u201cb1t\u201d Vakhovskiy<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-316334\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/54971430561_18a70ffabf_h.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/54971430561_18a70ffabf_h.webp 1600w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/54971430561_18a70ffabf_h-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/54971430561_18a70ffabf_h-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/54971430561_18a70ffabf_h-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/54971430561_18a70ffabf_h-1536x1024.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Across two maps:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">37\u201327 K-D<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">+4.34% swing<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">77.4 ADR<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">78.0% KAST<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">1.32 rating<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>B8 showed flashes of potential but struggled to match NAVI\u2019s structure across the series.<\/p>\n<p><strong>VRS impact<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The results also brought several changes to the Valve Regional Standings (VRS).<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">3DMAX gained valuable ground in the rankings after their victory over FUT, earning +28 VRS points and climbing further in the standings.<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">FUT, meanwhile, suffered a \u221220 VRS point drop, weakening their position as the race for Major qualification continues to tighten.<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Natus Vincere slightly improved their ranking after defeating B8, gaining +6 VRS points.<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">For B8, the loss resulted in a \u22126 VRS point decrease, pushing the team further away from the teams currently fighting for higher positions in the standings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Community and team reactions<\/h3>\n<p>Teams quickly reacted to the results on social media following the matches. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/FUTesportsgg\/status\/2030659870903419112?s=20\">FUT<\/a> acknowledged the defeat with a short message to their opponents:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>GGWP\u00a0 @3DMAXGaming<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/3DMAXGaming\/status\/2030662881684111630?s=20\">3DMAX<\/a> celebrated the victory while highlighting their MVP of the series:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>Everybody played very well!
