The match began with an open A site play from Koņa Imperatori, resulting in a plant and a fight. However, as we’ve come to expect, the pistol rounds don't go Aesthetic's way. That didn't stop them, though! B rush worked wonders, allowing almost everyone to survive and giving Aesthetic a 3-1 lead.
But things shifted quickly after an unsuccessful B hit allowed Koņa Imperatori to wake up and regain momentum. A massive lurk from DoDiK netted two key kills toward A, pushing Aesthetic to a narrow 4-3 lead. Despite the breakthrough, multiple failed B hits led to a 8-4 lead for Koņa Imperatori by the end of the half.
