FURIA defeat Grayhound

Coming into the match, FURIA had troublesome T-sides regularly but starting off on the T-side of Ancient, FURIA seemed to have remedied their problematic T-side. After initial back and forth trades till 3-2, FURIA toppled Grayhound's defense, putting up a 10 round winning streak to seal the half 12-3, massively in their favor. FalleN's AWP found form and so did chelo's T-side aggression.

Conceding the pistol, Grayhound put up a 3 round winning streak off of bomb plants, but the climb ahead was too steep, as FURIA stabilized their CT-economy and closed out Ancient quickly with a 16-6 score line, going 1-0 up in the series.

On Vertigo, FURIA once again got off to a stellar start on their T-side, putting Grayhound at an 8-1 disadvantage. Grayhound finally started getting good reads on FURIA, stringing up 3 in a row to somewhat close the gap at 4-8 but back and forth trades for the remainder of the half, saw FURIA run away with a 10-5 T-half in their favor.

The second half started out with rounds being traded back and forth but FURIA's 10-5 advantage was paying off, inching closer to the match point, round by round. Dropping 3 rounds, FURIA reached match point at 15-8, within touching distance of closing out the series. Grayhound were fighting with their backs against match point and series point, with a couple of rifles and upgraded pistols. Ultimately, FURIA encapsulated Grayhound on the B-site and then defused the C4 on B, to close out Vertigo 16-8 and the series 2-0.
