Na´Vi beat PartY at WCG Ukraine

Natus Vincere are through to the Grand Final at WCG Ukraine following a 2-0 victory over PartY despite losing all four pistol rounds.

On de_inferno, it was the ex-PinG team who started out the better, taking over the pistol round with a well-planned attack on bombsite A. After winning the first three rounds, though, they would have to wait six more rounds to score again, as Na´Vi, inspired by Danylo "Zeus" Teslenko, took control of the match.

The rest of the first half belonged to Na´Vi, except for the last round, as the scoreboard showed 10-5 in their favour at the break.

Now playing as CT, PartY got once again off to a better start, and won the pistol round thanks to an ace from Emil "Kucher" Akhundov. However, a purcashing attempt from Na´Vi in the following round paid dividends, and inspired the ESWC champions to go all the way and win the map 16-6.

Both teams then moved on to de_dust2, where PartY started out the brighter for a third time, picking up the first three rounds. Na´Vi then managed to put their name on the scoreboard, reducing the deficit to 3-2, but the ex-PinG squad regained control of the match. With neither side able to prove their superiority over the other, PartY managed to hold down a 9-6 lead at half time.

In the second half, PartY managed to win the pistol round for a fourth time, but this time they only got to win one more round, as Na´Vi's buying attempt in the third round brought the score to 2-1. The former PinG team would claim just one more round, as Na´Vi took complete control of the match, winning de_dust2 16-12 with great individual performances from Sergey "starix" Ischuk and Ioan "Edward" Sukharev.
