KRÜ won twenty-five rounds after the opening map
After losing Breeze, KRÜ won twenty-six rounds across the next two maps. BESTIA won seven during the same period. The response therefore continued beyond one quick map. Sunset levelled the match, but Summit confirmed the comeback. KRÜ needed a second complete performance after the emotional swing of two uneven maps. The eight-round defensive half created that platform. Total rounds finished twenty-nine for KRÜ and twenty for BESTIA. The series score was close at 2-1, while the round difference became larger. Both measures describe different parts of the match. KRÜ avoid elimination and advance.
Play-in matches leave limited room for a poor start. KRÜ survived the worst possible opening score without losing another map. The team now continues with a result earned through a full reverse series. BESTIA proved capable of controlling Breeze and winning the first point. Their challenge was maintaining that level after KRÜ changed the pace. Sunset removed the advantage before Summit decided progression.
Breeze gave BESTIA a strong opening result. KRÜ answered on Sunset and Summit, winning both maps by wide margins. Those completed scores formed the 2-1 comeback.
The match contained two extreme responses
