Eternal Fire's impressive tournament run included upset victories over Team Vitality (2-0) and G2 Esports (2-1), earning them $85,625 for second place. Despite a strong comeback on Anubis led by woxic's clutch performances, they couldn't maintain momentum in the remaining maps.

Spirit's success was driven by exceptional individual performances. While sh1ro dominated with the AWP (24-8 on Mirage), 18-year-old donk earned tournament MVP honors with a 1.43 rating and crucial opening kills throughout the playoffs.
