Trademark eSports have been crowned this week's Honcast King of the Hill after defeating FnaticRaidCall 2-1. The week started out with Trademark eSports having to face Frenetic Array in a best of one series. Trademark eSports beat Frenetic Array and would later on play verses FnaticRaidCall in a best of three. Trademark eSports was able to win the first game against FnaticRaidCall, but were unable to continue playing due to one of their players being stuck in a blizzard and having no power. Trademark eSports and FnaticRaidCall agreed to postpone the rest of the series and play the following day.
As the series resumed the following day, both FnaticRaidCall and Trademark eSports used ringers. TdM used Johan "Mynuts" Andersson and FnaticRaidCall used Kai " H4nn1" Hanbueckersi and Skyzoe. Fnatic were able to win the second game and tie the series 1-1. The 3rd and final game would last almost a hour, and after such a long match, Trademark eSports were able to come out on top and win the Honcast King of the Hill 2-1.
