This was the last professional match up for Zeus, who sees this as the last time he will be leading NaVi or any other team for that matter. NaVi had some players excel on an individual level but a disheartening ending to Zews’s career, as he was a victim of the CZ’s low magazine capacity, the fight against NIP skipper Get_Right went to a knife duel and Zews fell on the receiving end. Giving them a straight 7 rounds by the rules laid out by BLAST.
