A Poland lineup without Virtus.pro's iconic players then took on Chris "chrisJ" de Jong's Netherlands on de_cache. Following a 9-6 moderate defense, CSGOLounge's Michał "MICHU" Müller and Vexed's Damian "Furlan" Kislowski proved too hot to handle for the Dutchmen, and powered a T-sided gambit that saw Poland win the match 16-11.
