With mousesports unable to build an economy, Chris "⁠chrisJ⁠" de Jong and company called two timeouts before the tenth round to try and find a solution to PENTA’s steamrolling, as the latter took the first nine rounds of the match. Finally, mousesports got on the board thanks to a big round by Denis "⁠denis⁠" Howell, who got a triple in mid and stopped PENTA on their tracks. After getting on the board mousesports were able to salvage the half winning every round up to the half.
