The North American powerhouse picked up the Hacienda Hardpoint with a score of 250-201, before needing a round eleven ninja defuse from Clayster himself to secure the Search and Destroy. They got back to solid footing with a game of control on Arsenal, completing their sweep with a 3-1 win. 

OpTic Gaming 3-2 Team Heretics

In the only series to go the full distance, OpTic Gaming edged out a feisty Team Heretics. The Greenwall may have figured that it was going to be a difficult match-up from the get-go as they barely edged out Heretics in the opening hardpoint by a 250-235 scoreline.

However, the Greenwall closed proceedings with a 6-2 Search and Destroy victory behind Brandon ‘Dashy’ Otell’s strong 7/2 K/D showing. 

Team Envy 0-3 Gen.G

Team Envy may have been hoping that their recent roster change would help bring a halt to their dreadful run of form, but they were easily dispatched of by the dominant Gen.G – bringing their winless run of maps to 16. 

Gen.G jumped out to a 1-0 lead with an intense 250-223 hardpoint win on Hacienda and snowballed that momentum. They picked up the Search and Destroy on Gridlock by a 6-3 scoreline, before completing the sweep with a 3-0 Control win on the same map.
