FURIA win EMF CS:GO World Invitational over AVANGAR

With a 3-1 score for the series (6-16 Inferno, 16-11 Vertigo, 16-9 Mirage, 16-10 Overpass) FURIA defeated AVANGAR at the EMF CS:GO World Invitational, claiming the ~$64,100 prize pool.

The two-team invitational featured just one match, and the BO5 series kicked off on Inferno, AVANGAR's map pick, with the team from Kazakhstan managing a solid 9-6 CT side after a slow start. After the switch, Dzhami "⁠Jame⁠" Ali and co. grabbed control of the match and chained seven rounds in the row on the T side to claim the map quickly, 16-6.

The action then moved to FURIA's pick, Vertigo, with the Brazilian side starting on the offense. Andrei "⁠arT⁠" Piovezan was leading the charge for his team both in terms of overall fragging and finding entries, helping them reach a 9-2 lead. AVANGAR woke up towards the end of the half and put on some pressure by winning the first rifle round in the second half (12-10), but couldn't convert it into a map win as we saw FURIA close it out 16-12.

Mirage followed, where FURIA continued with their momentum, going up 6-1 off the bat on the defense. With Alexey "⁠Qikert⁠" Golubev standing out, AVANGAR once again recovered in the second part of the first half (9-6), but the Brazilians claimed another pistol after the switch and finished off the map 16-9.

With a 2-1 lead in the series, FURIA moved to Overpass with a chance to close out the game and take the win. Jame grabbed a triple in the CT pistol to get AVANGAR to start on the right foot, but FURIA's fast pace was hard for them to deal with.

AVANGAR managed a minimal lead going into the second half, 8-7, but arT's squad got control of the map with a five-round-winning streak at the start of their CT half. Having a 12-8 advantage on the CT side, FURIA had no issues closing out Overpass and taking the win at the Invitational.
