The final against K27 ended with HEROIC winning Nuke 13:9, Mirage 13:11, and Dust2 13:11. Despite the clean scoreline, the Russian roster managed to put up a fight. On Mirage, K27 nearly forced overtime after coming back from 2:10, while on Dust2 they let an 11:7 lead slip away.

K27 reached the final through the lower bracket and defeated Ninjas in Pyjamas before the decisive match. For the young team, this was only their second international LAN tournament.
