Team Yandex eliminated from FISSURE Universe: Episode 8 one step away from the final
In the lower bracket final of FISSURE Universe: Episode 8, Team Spirit defeated Team Yandex 2:0 and advanced to the tournament grand final, where they will once again face Aurora Gaming in the match for the championship title.
The first map was played under complete control of the “dragons”. The game ended in 24 minutes and Yandex managed to secure only two kills, despite a tempo-oriented draft and the presence of a hard carry Medusa for Spirit.
On the second map, Yandex looked more confident, but an adventurous Queen of Pain pick as a carry prevented them from putting up a fight in the late game.
It is worth noting that Spirit recently changed their midlaner, as Denis Larl Sigitov is absent from the tournament for personal reasons. The team is also competing without a coach: Ayrat Silent Gaziev has been moved to inactive.
