Canada Cup Season 5 Playoffs
NAR progressed through the brackets without giving up a loss until the grand finals. They cruised through their matches in the quarter finals against Wheel Wreck While Whistling, the semi finals verses Summer’s Rift and the upper brackets finals facing Boreal. With the win over Boreal in the Upper Brackets finals, the North American team had sent the Canadians to the lower bracket finals to face WWWW. Boreal was able to defeat them 2:1 and advance to the Grand Finals to face NAR once again.
Last season’s champions Summer’s Rift were knocked down to the lower brackets in the semi finals by NAR and then eliminated by E-hug in the Lower Brackets Round 2.
