As for the other semi-final, ViCi were the ones to prevail. After losing the first map, UYA won Mirage with the same scoreline (16-13) and got off to a great start on Overpass with a 12-3 lead by the end of the first half. Despite of losing six different clutch rounds throughout the map, ViCi shut down Vladimir "⁠VofkiN⁠" Shmakov's team hopes with a 19-17 win.

TYLOO started the series with a dominant 16-4 on Mirage and the grand final seemed to be a one-sided affair. ViCi did not back off and secured ten rounds on Cobblestone, but it was HaoWen "⁠somebody⁠" Xu's squad who finished off the series with a 16-10 scoreline.
