and ZETA DIVISION GC 2-0 in their opening bouts. Chao Hui EDG then took a 2-1 revenge over CCQ in the upper final, putting them one win away from the Championship.
ZETA ended CCQ's run in a 2-0 lower final, setting up a grand finals rematch against EDGS. The revenge match kicked off in dominant fashion for the Chinese side, which took Sunset (13-9) and Split (13-4) with just 13 rounds lost. The final two maps of the fight were much tighter: ZETA managed to win their Ascent pick 13-11, but were ultimately brought down with the same result on Lotus, where EDGS claimed the East Asia GCC slot.
