Two quarterfinals, two different shapes

Falcons needed all three maps against G2. G2 won Dust2 13-11, then Falcons took Mirage 13-2 and Anubis 13-8, with G2 collecting two rounds on Mirage, both in the first half.
Vitality and G2 leave in the 5th-6th bracket, which HLTV lists at $25,000 plus a $60,000 club share.
Spirit vs MOUZ
Spirit have not dropped a series in Hong Kong. A 2-1 win over FUT included a 0-13 loss on Nuke, which HLTV calls the first 13-0 map defeat in Spirit’s CS2 history. The Group B upper final against G2 also went to a third map after Spirit lost Mirage 9-13, and they closed it with Nuke 13-6 and Ancient 13-5.
MOUZ took the longer road. They lost the group opener to G2 and beat FUT 2-1 in the lower final, with Cache going 16-19 and Mirage 16-14 before Nuke ended 13-4. A 2-0 win over Vitality followed. The two teams have not met at this event, and MOUZ arrive with three series played to Spirit’s two.
