ImageDay two of the LAN event held in Kiev has ended with Na'Vi being the first team to qualify for the grand final.

UA Natus Vincere continue their undefeated run after a fairly convincing second day. The Ukraininan side stood up against EU mousesports in the first BO3 match of the day. The first game provided a lot of action and breathtaking moments - Na`Vi dominated almost the whole game, leading with ~ 20 000 gold at some point but they couldn't enter the enemy's base. Mouz bravely fought back with perfectly executed teamfights and an exceptional Enigma played by RO Nicolae Alexandru 'ComeWithMe' Craciunescu, whose black holes helped his team to make a comeback and win game 1. However, Na`Vi secured their place in the winner bracket final after taking games 2 and 3 after some questionable decisions by mouz.

The second match was between UA Darer Entertainment and RU Moscow Five . It started almost an hour late since M5 player RU Ivan 'Vigoss' Shinkarev had trouble reaching the venue in time. The three games were relatively close with M5 winning two of them and qualifying for the winner bracket final where they met Na`Vi.

The last match of the day was the winner bracket final between Na'Vi and M5. Na'Vi's captain EE Clement 'Puppey' Ivanov and co. didn't find any difficulties in beating twice the Russian team - the second game lasted only 22 minutes.
