Digital Chaos had swept through Void Boys 2:0 and tied Archon 1:1 to secure their place in the finals. The two teams will now face off in a best-of-one tie breaker to determine their seeding into the playoffs. The winning team will face compLexity Gaming, while the other will go head to head with Shazam~.
Leviathan had a surprisingly sub-par performance, taking only one win against EWolves and then the def win when the Peruvian team forfeited the last match.

compLexity Gaming held nothing back as they faced NoT Today. The team was in rare form as they destroyed the Peruvian team starting in the first few seconds of the match. The team did not let up for any moment during the rest of their course to the playoffs, ensuring that they took the top position having lost only one game in the entire group series. They had split the series with Shazam~ 1:1 on the first day, and hadn’t lost a match since.
Shazam~ has continued to demonstrate that the former cloud 9 team’s presence is still strong. With Mason “mason” Venne on the team now, they are still moving forward at an astounding rate. The team slipped into the second place spot with two draws in the event; against compLexity and PoF.
NoT Today had a rather disappointing run despite their star players and veteran experience. The team ended in the last spot with only one game won, in the split series against Team Freedom. They lost their last series against Shazam~ at the end of the night.
