\n- Dust2 (HOTU\u2019s pick) \u2014 13:11
\nOn their own pick, HOTU immediately set the right tone for the series. The match was competitive, but it was HOTU who played the key stretches of the map better and did not allow GamerLegion to take the ending. For the underdog, this was not just a map win, but an important psychological blow to the favorite.<\/li>\n - Ancient (GamerLegion\u2019s pick) \u2014 13:8
\nOn the second map, HOTU strengthened their advantage even more convincingly. Already on GamerLegion\u2019s choice, the team looked more confident than the opponent, controlled the tempo better, and converted its moments much more consistently. Instead of a comeback from the favorite, there was another high-quality map from HOTU and a final 2:0 score.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/doc_2026-07-22_23-15-06.png\")
