European team ENCE defeated German team BIG, thus guaranteeing themselves a place on the Legends stage. Thanks to the efforts of Marco «Snappi» Pfeifer and Pavel «dycha» Dycha ENCE was able to regain the lead after losing to Dust2 and finish the match with a score of 2 – 1. In the preceding days of the majors, she won twice (playing against GODSENT and MOUZ) and suffered one loss (to FaZe). BIG still has a chance to move on, albeit a slim one: to do so, she will need to win the last remaining match, which will take place on Friday.
At first, the match started well for ENCE: she started the Dust2 draw by winning several rounds in a row. However, BIG soon managed to shift the balance of power in their favor, and after the change of sides the German team dominated. The result was a BIG win at Dust2 with a score of 16 – 10. The next map was Mirage, and on that map the BIG advantage didn't last long. Although at first the German cybersportsmen won four rounds in a row, by the middle of the card draw ENCE was already leading, and the final score was 16 – 8 in its favor. Thus, the map on which the fate of the match was decided was Nuke. Although BIG showed good play in some moments, it failed to build a stable defense, and in the end the victory on this map and in the whole match went to ENCE.
