It was all Change The Game on their CT side as Chinggis Warriors had absolutely no answer, with the Mongolian team being shut down left-right centre. An embarassing T side saw Chinggis Warriors get outlpayed in every sense as Change The Game went 11-0 before a B hit finally stuck in the final round of the half that saw Chinggis Warriors pick up their first and only T round.
A yAmi double from Donut helped Chinggis Warriors retake on the A site to take the second pistol on their map pick. The pistol and conversion saw Chinggis Warriors pick up four on their CT side to raise the slightest hope of a comeback but it was quickly shut down as the home team wrapped up Ancient at 13-5 on the back of back to back B hits.
After a slow start on Ancient, Chinggis Warriors were instantly on the board on Dust2 as yAmi and ROUX did the heavy-lifting early on to see the Mongolian team go 6-0 up. After suffering six straight round losses, Change The Game hit the A site with pistols as a low buy conversion saw them get on the board. That A hit was the only round the home team could manage as a stellar defensive hold saw Chinggis Warriors go 11-1 up. Eventually one was all that Change The Game could manage as Chinggis Warriors hit back in style with a dominant 13-1 win to tie up the series.
A quick A hit from Chinggis Warriors saw them start the decider on Mirage with the CT pistol before Change The Game replied with the force. The force wars continued for a while as Chinggis answered with a force of their own as it was a trade of rounds in the opening couple of rounds on Mirage. Zero and Hack1ng's retake on the B site finally put a stop to the force buys and it was Zero with his B shutdowns that saw Change The Game make early inroads on their CT side. After four in a row from Change The Game, a quad kill from yAmi including him holding on in a 1v1 clutch against Zero saw Chinggis Warriors put up their third. A ROUX's double Tec-9 opener late in the half saw Chinggis find late momentum to end their T side with five rounds.
