The second part of this match was much more competitive compared to the first map. Until the 30th minute, Team Aster was leading the game, but Entity managed to actively resist. Xxs, playing on Mars, was extremely useful on the map for his team. The excellent implementation of the ultimate ability of his hero helped to regularly start and win fights. In a protracted confrontation lasting 52 minutes, the Chinese team draws the score in the series. As a result, 40:25 in favor of Aster.
