The first map was Pearl, and the atmosphere was electric as the teams went head to head. Wolfen, playing as Jett for KOI, was on fire, and his quick reflexes and deadly accuracy saw him take down several NAVI players in the early rounds. Sheydos, playing as Killjoy, was also in top form, expertly placing her gadgets to slow down the NAVI push.
But NAVI was not to be underestimated, and their star player, cNed, playing as Jett, was equally impressive. His lightning-fast reflexes and sharpshooting skills kept KOI on their toes. Suygetsu, playing as Cypher, was also a force to be reckoned with, expertly using his traps and cameras to gather crucial intel on the KOI team.
The score was tied at 12-12, and tensions were running high as the teams entered the final round. Both teams fought fiercely, but it was KOI who emerged victorious, winning the map 14-12.
The second map was Lotus, and this time NAVI was determined to come out on top. Zyppan, playing as Kay/O, was a force to be reckoned with, expertly using his flashes and smokes to blind the KOI players. Ange1, playing as Brimstone, was also on form, expertly using his molotovs and smokes to cut off the KOI players' retreat.
KOI fought hard, with Starxo, playing as Sage, expertly healing his teammates and reviving fallen players. Koldamenta, playing as Omen, was also impressive, using his teleportation abilities to get behind the NAVI lines and take them by surprise.
But despite their best efforts, KOI was unable to hold off the relentless NAVI push, and the map ended 13-11 in NAVI's favor.
The third and final map was Ascent, and the pressure was on as the teams battled it out. Trexx, playing as Sova, was a standout player for KOI, expertly using his recon arrows to gather intel on the NAVI players. Shao, playing as Sova for NAVI, was equally impressive, using his shock darts and owl drone to take out KOI players.
But it was Koldamenta, playing as Viper, who proved to be the game-changer for KOI. His deadly poisonous gas grenades and toxic screen slowed down the NAVI push, allowing his teammates to pick off their opponents one by one.
The score was tied at 12-12, and the tension was palpable as the teams entered the final round. Both teams fought hard, but it was KOI who emerged victorious, winning the map 14-12 and securing their place in the next round of the VCT Emea League 2023.
