However, The MongolZ were blown away on the second map Anubis. Reduced to only 4 rounds on their CT side, the game ended with a 13-4 score in the favour of Spirit, as they went flawless in the second half. donk stood on the forefront of the charts, with a K-D of 21-6.
After going back on forth, The MongolZ looked in control at the outset of the decider map Nuke, as they led 6-1. However, that lead quickly crumbled as Spirit reached matchpoint first at 12-9. While The MongolZ fought back, narrowing the scores down to 12-11, they failed to pass the last hurdle, losing the map 11-13.
