The second map was a closer affair for both teams, once again ending with mirrored halftime scores at 7-8. Mythic were able to quickly seize control on their CT side of Nuke thanks to a stellar performance from Eric "fl0m" Flom, with the stream team giving up only four more rounds before they closed out their series against Alex "lanhero" Suarez and company.
