In Shanghai, China, the qualifying tournaments for the Shanghai Major – the main tournament of the semester in Counter-Strike 2 – are taking place.
The Ukrainian team "Natus Vincere" managed to defeat the Portuguese team SAW in a match that grants a direct ticket to the competition.
The match began on the map Nuke, where the Portuguese won several of the initial rounds; however, at a score of 1:4, "NaVi" woke up, took the lead, and never let their opponents close the gap, ultimately securing the victory.
