But their recent matches and performance in server point in different directions.  Earlier in the tournament: Monte 2-1 NiP · Nuke 10-13 · Dust2 13-7 · Anubis 16-14.  Monte won a tight three-map series. NiP led 11-5 on Anubis CT side and somehow gave it back. A single round here or there and this could have gone the other way. NiP come into this with the benefit of the demos. They have played Monte once already at this event and know exactly what they are dealing with. The Anubis collapse from 11-5 on CT side still stings, but the lessons are clear: NiP had the tools to win that series and made costly late-round errors that handed Monte the deciding map. stavn has been growing in confidence on the AWP as this tournament has gone on, and xKacpersky has been a standout performer.

Monte are the team with momentum and the upper bracket run behind them. afro continues to lead individual stats across the board, and their map pool remains a genuine strength.
