4CL advanced to the grand finals without giving up a single game to their opponents. They swept through 4ASC and Alliance, 2:0.
Digital Chaos also showed dominance in their matches, sweeping through both FIRE and ROOT Gaming to represent the NA region in the grand finals.
As the format set up the grand finals to take place between EU and NA, the battle of regions started with a strong performance by 4CL to claim the first win. Even though the Europeans chose a Tiny-Io combo for the second game in the best-of-five series, the North American team led by Kurtis “Aui_2000” Ling was able to even out the series. 4CL grabbed the final two matches after some impressive plays by Alaan “sexybamboe” Faraj and secured their championship title.
