Despite a rough start for B8 — including a 1vs5 pistol round clutch from sjuush — the Ukrainian squad still managed to defeat NIP. It was the opening match of CS Asia Championships 2026, and unlike many other tournaments, it was played in a BO1 format, which always adds a bit of randomness. B8 advance further through the upper bracket, while NIP drop down to the lower bracket.
The MVP of the match was npl, who posted a 1.91 rating.
