They also had an advantage in the force round after the pistol one and easily took a 2:0 lead. Vitality dominated, bringing the score to 7:1 in their favor. After this, however, Heroic took a tactical pause to take a break and change their strategy, which helped them win the first half with an 8:7 score. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second half of Vertigo started with three successful rounds from Heroic, who were playing on the terrorist side. But Heroic&#8217;s dominance was short-lived as Vitality equalized the economy, taking the lead 14:11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Heroic tried to make a comeback until the very end, Vitality proved to be stronger and secured the first map of the IEM Rio 2023 Grand Final with a 16:13 score in their favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the <a href=\"https:\/\/clips.twitch.tv\/IcyBenevolentClipsdadDoritosChip-LnImbKqq2bprx7Xi\">highlight<\/a> of the map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Inferno\"><\/span>Inferno<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitality started on the CT-side on the second map and took the first two rounds. However, Heroic succeeded on the third, thanks to two eco rounds that allowed them to make a full buy and reach a 2:1 score. After that, Vitality was even more dominant in the first half and secured ten rounds before the switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the second half, Heroic fought hard for every round to bring the map to overtime and the series to a third map. Finally, due to Vitality&#8217;s carelessness, Heroic tied the score at 11:11. But it wasn&#8217;t enough.
