OK, so North finished 1st in Group B with two matches played and two wins + a positive round difference of +13 and six points. FURIA finished 2nd with three played matches and two wins, their round difference was -3, and they had six points. North won their first match against MIBR on Inferno 25-23, it was a tough match, and they managed to hold last two rounds. Then they won against Vitality 2-1 (13-16 on Nuke, 16-11 on Inferno, and 16-7 on Dust2). On the other side, FURIA won their first match against the legendary Astralis 16-14 on Nuke, which was pretty strange. Then they lost against NRG 0-2 (13-16 on Train, and 9-16 on Nuke), and again they faced the best team in the world and WON (12-16 on Inferno, 16-10 on Mirage, and 16-13 on Nuke). Damn this will be a legendary match. Both teams are in the top 20 this is a fight for $100,000 or $50,000, so it will be fascinating to watch. The Astralis loss was pretty strange, but that happens when there is a new team in Tier 1 with new tactics and plays. My bet will go to over 2,5 maps.

Good luck to all who bet, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
