How the match unfolded \u2014 PARIVISION vs 9z<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Series score: 2:0 in favor of 9z<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Inferno (9z pick) \u2014 13:6
    \n9z took control of the series very quickly on their own pick. PARIVISION failed to find consistency in the key rounds, while their opponent managed the pace better and punished positional mistakes with much more confidence.<\/li>\n
  2. Ancient (PARIVISION pick) \u2014 13:8
    \nOn their own choice, PARIVISION were supposed to look much stronger, but 9z once again proved to be the more organized team. The series never truly entered an even phase: the Latin American side controlled the flow of the map and did not allow their opponent to bring back any real intrigue.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
