While
Na`Vi pushed 
Virtus.Pro right out of the competition on the back of strong laning and depriving Wisp and Gyrocopter of the space to take control of the game. Meanwhile 
Fnatic.EU made a few too many mistakes, allowing 
No Tidehunter to pick and push, converting kill advantages into tower advantages and just getting dominating the European powerhouse of the previous weeks. With this both of the winners of the previous cups and the points leaders heading into day 2 were now headed into the finals.Game 1
Apparently
Jonathan 'Loda' Berg was not expecting the strong performance coming out of his team on the back of their pick-up of Jerry 'EGM' Lundkvist, as he had to miss the first game of the finals due to a pre-scheduled meeting with the sponsors. In his place we saw former CLG off-laner Johan 'smulgullig' Gidmark take up his familiar Dark Seer, while Henrik 'AdmiralBulldog' Ahnberg and Gustav 's4' Magnusson picking up their trademark Bounty Hunter and Night Stalker respectively.With a lineup reeking of early aggression, early aggression was what we got, and even some really nice Black Holes by
Clement 'Puppey' Ivanov could not stall the game rapidly slipping out of Na`Vi's hands, as the Swedes had completely contained the Ukrainians by 20 minutes in. After circling the wagons for a while, Roshan respawned at 26 minutes, only to be dead moments later, as NTH set up to push in at bottom lane. Losing not a single hero, they pushed Na`Vi back and took the Tier 3 Tower, followed by the 'GG' call by Na`Vi at 28 minutes with a 30-7 kill score.Game 2
With Loda back in the fold, he took on the Phantom Lancer and backed up by
Joakim 'Akke' Akterhall on Keeper of the Light, the renouned combination went into full swing. After s4 gave up the first blood in mid, things just started to turn, as kills turned in NTH favour and Na`Vi started losing towers. Along with a early farm lead, it was highly unclear how a lineup with no traditional Phantom Lancer counters would be able to take the game after failing to contain him early on.Every time it felt as if Na`Vi might be taking a step towards clawing their way back into the game it was soon followed by NTH taking a tower or picking off a few heroes. A 23 minute smoke into Roshan by Na`Vi had them feeling confident, as NTH were slightly too slow to react, giving an Aegis of Immortality to
Alexander 'XBOCT' Dashkevich on Lifestealer, who proceeded to walk up into the Radiant jungle, giving away what they had just fought hard to earn. With these unfortunate decisions he for the first time during the game slowly started falling behind Loda on farm, as the teams headed into the mid game.At 32 minutes the first proper teamfight for a while broke out in middle lane, while s4 was splitpushing up top. As Loda just absolutely destroyed XBOCT's Lifestealer, Na`Vi called the 'GG', admitting that the Swedes has bested them.
