xeta was outstanding in the final game of the qualifier

The series started on Inferno, where MVP PK kicked off as Terrorist and racked up a huge, 12-3 lead. They didn't look that good on the defensive side, though, but managed to close the map out in the end, 16-13. Then the action switched to Nuke, where Seon-Ho "⁠xeta⁠" Son was dominant on the AWP, finishing the map with 32K-11D, helping his side to a 16-8 win.
