MOUZ win three-map thriller<\/h2>\n

MOUZ opened the series with a 13:11 victory on Mirage, their own map pick. GamerLegion stayed competitive throughout the game and brought the score level late. However, MOUZ held their nerve in the final rounds to claim the narrow win.<\/p>\n

GamerLegion responded on Ancient in a marathon second map. The teams were tied 12:12 after regulation, which sent the game into overtime. GamerLegion then won the extended extra period 10:7 and closed the map 22:19, forcing a deciding Nuke.<\/p>\n

The final map produced the biggest twist of the series. GamerLegion built a commanding 10:2 lead before the side switch and looked set for a quarterfinal appearance. Meanwhile, MOUZ delivered a near-perfect second half, completed the comeback, and won Nuke 13:11. As a result, MOUZ sealed the series 2-1.<\/p>\n
