Going undefeated through the tournament towards the grand finals, SK-Gaming were the favorites (76% in GosuBet) to win the match. Being played only best of one, every little mistake could be fatal, which opted for a very tense and exciting final.

The Elder Gods put up a good fight, and seemed to play better than in the previous encounter between the two in the group stage. However, SK-Gaming was the superior team and could had TeG type GG after having destroyed two lanes already.

SK-Gaming wins $7,500 and an autoberth to the finals in San José. Runner-ups The Elder Gods also gets an autoberth, plus $5,000.

MeetYourMakers ended in third place, after defeating Evil Geniuses in the bronze match.
