In the beginning, it seemed as if Power Gaming were underestimating Iuro a bit, but ever since the 5th round, they managed to play their own game and Iuro was rather defenseless and had to concede a very strong loss.

In the beginning rounds, Power Gaming were unable to lock B down, with FrosteR being fragged early on and toxjee not really doing much from kebab shop, which lead to a 3-0 lead for Iuro.

Power Gaming then tried to counter the B-sided attacks of Iuro by pushing the A aggressively, which gave them some rounds but at a 3 to 4 score, they will need more to level up again.

Luckily, the match is played on crossfire and Power Gaming are on the defensive side, so if they can keep trading rounds like this, they should really be picking up the overall win, unless Iuro have something special in store for the defence.

Close to the end of the first half, Power Gaming takes the lead and are looking as shoe-ins for the win. The 7 to 5 score in favour of Power Gaming has a clear advantage if they can attack the B bombsite quick enough, which has sometimes been a problem of Power Gaming in the past. But they seem to have learnt from their mistakes somewhat and are pushing the B bombsite as well as being aggressive over mid to clear out the A house.

Iuro cannot handle this and Power Gaming are winning round after round to take them to a 10 to 5 score. They continued this run in the following two rounds and are at matchpoint to end a match with potential quite clearly in their favour. As suspected, Iuro had a distinctive lack of ideas and tactics on the defensive side of mp_crossfire, otherwise they could have definitely done better in the end.
