The match began with NiP taking the favorable defensive side. A strong Serious push would see NiP lose three players very quickly and the bomb planted. With only Christensen and Sundström remaining, they made their attempt to retake the site and were able to take down all five Serious Gaming members, but were not able to defuse the bomb in time. They would go on to lose the next two save rounds before buying up for the first gun round of the match. NiP jumped out to a huge player advantage by taking down four Serious players early on with only Holm going down. Kovanen from Serious made a valiant effort taking down three but was unable to finish it off and would eventually be taken down by Christensen M4A1. That would be it for Serious as NiP would run off the remaining rounds to and get a twelve to three lead going into half time.

The second half started out with a lot of players trading frags, with eventually it ending in a two verse one situation in favor of NiP. The remaining Serious player, Kuparinen, would not be able to take them down and Serious would lose the opening pistol. NiP easily grabbed the next two rounds, only losing one player in total and putting themselves in a match point situation. With the first gun round of the half, Serious was in a do or die situation. Both both teams fully equiped, they would trade frags once again leaving a one on one situation beween Ingermarsson and Kuparinen, both with only tweleve health points. Ingermarsson managed to plant the bomb in the lower site and take coverage the the halls. Kuparinen would not be able to fake out the famous Swedish superstar, and NiP would go on to win the match sixteen to three and send Serious packing.
