The series started on de_Cache, where E-Corp Gaming demonstrated a strong performance off the get-go. Kicking off on the T side, the Frenchmen were very playing a very comfortable game against their countrymen, so much so that it seemed relatively easy for them at times. E-Corp pushed Oserv's boundaries, leading to a 12:3 finish for the former. In the second half Oserv eSport definitely woke up, making the leader question their position. Rounds progressively went in favour of the team, up until the final, deciding round, where unfortunately for Oserv they were unable to push the map into overtime. E-Corp secure de_Cache at an incredibly close 16:14.
