Legacy Respond After Ancient Defeat<\/h2>\n

FURIA opened the series with a 13-9 win on Ancient, Legacy\u2019s map pick. FURIA led 7-5 after the first half and closed the map with a 6-4 scoreline in the second half. Therefore, the team took an early advantage in the best-of-three series.<\/p>\n

However, Legacy answered on Nuke, which FURIA had selected. Legacy won the map 13-9 after taking the first half 7-5 and the second half 6-4. The result tied the series and sent the third-place match to a deciding map.<\/p>\n

Dust2 became the final battleground after neither team could close the series in two maps. Legacy again beat FURIA 13-9, repeating the 7-5 and 6-4 half scores from Nuke. Consequently, Legacy completed the comeback after losing Ancient and secured a 2-1 series victory.<\/p>\n
