Liquid evaporate against Na`Vi
The second 1-1 match of the day after Vega Squadron vs mousesports was to be between Liquid and Natus Vincere. Liquid kicked off Overpass with a clean pistol round win. They followed it up by winning the two anti-force buy rounds and had a good economy going into the first gun round. After a superb retake on the B site, Liquid took the first gun round.
Round five came down to a 1v3 for Nick "nitr0" Cannella, which he won to extend Liquid's lead even more. A triple entry by Ioann "Edward" Sukhariev put Na`Vi on the scoreboard, and the majority Ukrainian team tied up the game in tow. After losing the lead, Liquid answered back, and powered by Jonathan "EliGE" Jablonowski, the American team secured eight rounds by the end of the half.
The CIS squad started off their CT side with an easy pistol round, which led to Na`Vi taking the lead once again. Denis "electronic" Sharipov then won consecutive 1 on 2's to establish his teams position in the second half. Liquid took one round, but were reset right after, with Na`Vi taking economic dominance. The North American side couldn't get anything else going in the game, and fell to Na`Vi 9-16.
