The lower bracket leaves teams no room to correct mistakes: every series directly determines who continues the fight and who ends the tournament. It is especially important to maintain control after losing a map, because one unsuccessful stretch in such a match can completely change a team\u2019s future path.<\/p>\n

How the match unfolded \u2014 FUT vs Lynn Vision<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Series score: 2:1 in favor of FUT<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Dust2 (Lynn Vision\u2019s pick) \u2014 13:10
    \nLynn Vision managed to use their own pick and take the lead in the series first. The map remained competitive almost until the end, but the Chinese roster played the decisive stretch better and put FUT in a situation where the next loss would mean elimination.<\/li>\n
  2. Anubis (FUT\u2019s pick) \u2014 13:3
    \nOn their own pick, FUT answered in the most convincing way possible. The team took control of the map almost immediately, did not allow Lynn Vision to build on their success after Dust2, and with a dominant scoreline sent the match to the deciding Ancient.<\/li>\n
  3. Ancient (decider) \u2014 13:7
    \nOn the third map, FUT maintained the tempo after their dominant Anubis. Lynn Vision still tried to stay in the series, but FUT were more consistent in the key rounds and completed the comeback from 0:1 to a final 2:1 victory.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Player of the Match \u2014 Lizhi \u201cStarry\u201d Ye (Lynn Vision)<\/strong><\/h2>\n
      \n
    • K\u2013D: 60\u201338<\/li>\n
    • ADR: 104.6<\/li>\n
    • Rating 3.0: 1.69<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Key contribution: despite Lynn Vision\u2019s loss, Starry was the strongest individual player of the entire series. He finished the match with a big advantage in frags and the highest rating, but even such a performance was not enough to save the team after the collapse on Anubis and Ancient.<\/p>\n
