Mythic squandered most of a 13-7 lead before holding on for a 16-14 win over Team One on Vertigo. The second map, Dust II, went back and forth. Mythic led 5-4 before Team One claimed 11 consecutive rounds for a 15-5 edge. Team One then lost seven consecutive map points before closing a 16-12 win.

Team One took control of the final map, Mirage, by winning eight rounds in a row on either side of halftime en route to a 16-12 triumph.

Guatemala's Mario "malbsMd" Samayoa paced Team One with 66 kills while Brazil's Pedro "Maluk3" Campos had a team-best plus-6 kill-death differential. The United States' Austin "Cooper-" Abadir topped Mythic with 67 kills and a plus-6 K-D differential.

Chaos emerged from a 9-9 tie with Rebirth to win Mirage 16-10. Rebirth then erased a 13-7 deficit on Overpass to force overtime before Chaos prevailed 19-16.

Canada's Jonathan "Jonji" Carey logged 58 kills for Chaos, and he matched teammate Erick "Xeppaa" Bach with a plus-17 K-D differential. Rebirth was led by the United States' Rahul "curry" Nemani, who had 52 kills and a plus-2 K-D differential.
