Natus Vincere continued climbing up the lower bracket by defeating Lemondogs in an extremely close encounter 19-17 on de_dust2, and have thus ensured themselves a top three placing and another chance at reaching the grand final.

Natus Vincere and Lemondogs met on de_dust2, the same map they met on not so long ago in the semi-final of IEM6 World Championship, when the Ukrainians easily won 16-6.

The Swedes started on the CT-side and even though it seemed that they were about to win the pistol-round, Na`Vi came out on top thanks to a 1vs2 clutch by their in-game leader Sergey "starix" Ischuk. After getting eco-rounds out of the way, Lemondogs succeeded to take two in a row which made the score 3-2.

However, Natus Vincere came right back into it and stringed four rounds in a row to go up 7-2. An eco for Lemondogs followed, which turned out surprisingly well for them as they made the perfect trap in the B bombsite, leaving Frej "kHRYSTAL" Sjöström in a 1vs1 situation against Yegor "markeloff" Markeloff, which the Swede managed to win thanks to good timing.

Lemondogs then won an anti-eco round, and the following rounds were exchanged between the teams, as Natus Vincere took on a 9-5 lead. In the last round of the half, the spotlight was again on Sjöström who made three impressive kills at catwalk to help his team secure the round.

After the side-change, Natus Vincere won the second pistol-round as well, but Lemondogs weren't going to allow to be written off, as in the next round they equipped themselves with Desert Eagles and rushed the B bombsite. Surprisingly that worked, once again largely thanks to Sjöström who won a tough 1vs2 situation.

The Ukrainians' lead melted off a few rounds later, as Lemondogs won the first buy round of the half and brought the score to 10-10. Another full buy went to Lemondogs and following an anti-eco, they found themselves up 12-10.

Natus Vincere weren't about to give up though, and they upped their game a bit and won four in a row making the lead change again to their favor, 14-12. But that wasn't the last time the lead changed as it was Lemondogs' turn to rack up rounds, and they climbed up to match point at 15-14 thanks to a close-call 1vs1 win by Björn "threat" Pers at the A bombsite.

However, this match apparently wasn't destined to end in regular time, as Natus Vincere evened the score in the last round, forcing the match into overtime.

Lemondogs were the ones to get the upper hand first, taking a 17-15 lead, but before changing sides, Na`Vi made it 17-16. In the second half of the overtime, Natus Vincere shut out the Swedes and won all three rounds to win this amazing match 19-17.
