There's always a first time for everything. And, sometimes, first times hurt. Right, Vitality?

The best team in the world - well, not at the moment because MOUZ are number one, God knows how - just lost 13-0 for the first time in their glorious history to none other than FURIA.

The match started looking like it was gonna be another stomp by apEX's squad and, in the first map, it was. But on Dust2, FURIA turned the tides and started off strong, building a lead that even Vitality could not overcome - especially with ZywOo's 0.68 rating.

By that time, around 3am in the land of samba and picanha, every Brazilian was asking themselves: will it be worth going to work in zombie mode for this? And the almost forty thousand who stayed for Mirage were well rewarded. 13-0 with everyone putting up a show. molodoy's 4k was a hell of a play to deny one of the few rounds that seemed to go Vitality's way.

YEKINDAR mentioned that it wasn't as easy as it looked, and although closer analysis shows it wasn’t a fluke either, not being an elimination match certainly had something to do with the result.

Now, Vitality will face MOUZ in the quarter-final and we can say that this matchup is a matter of honour for both teams.

MOUZ is trying to prove they're indeed #1 after losing to G2 in the first match of the event. It's okay if that was just a champions' hangover - look at Falcons, they haven't recovered from June yet - but you CANNOT be the number one and lose a match where r1nkle is the best player on the server. That’s just unforgiveable.

Anyway…

The deadly playoffs are set and we can expect exciting matches in MOUZ vs Vitality and G2 vs Falcons. Spirit and FURIA will be waiting in the semis for their opponents, and given the ungodly time these games are on, we’ll be grabbing a cup of coffee to watch.

Or perhaps something stronger, if FURIA decide to sh-t the bed again.

Hold on tight, TLDR enjoyers, just one more day and boring work won't get in the way of an early morning CS watch.
