. It was a classic matchup of the best team of history versus the best team of today, as well as a revenge match for
Derke
. His familiarity with FNATIC showed early on in Split, a map that went the whole distance, ending in an 18-16 win for Vitality.
Despite the revenge game, it was not Derke's day, as he posted his statistically worst performance in nearly 11 months. Instead, it was FNATIC's IGL Boaster that ran the server. It was his 1v3 that kickstarted their 9-3 comeback on Haven to win the series. Despite an insane performance from Vitality's rookie CyvOph on Iso, they had no answer to FNATIC and Boaster's attack side calls.
Never change, Boaster.Another notable match, unexpectedly so, was

. After taking down Team Liquid in week 1, the Ascension team was poised to find another upset against FUT, as they nearly won the series in just two maps. However, they failed to close out their match point, and heroics from

led the Turks to eventually win the map 18-16. FUT then finished out the series with a stomp on Lotus.
