The third time the teams have played each other, G2 won both previous games 2-0. Their previous encounter, the tournament's opening match, saw Liquid go to the lower bracket following the loss.

The beginning of the match promised a back-and-forth, with the first half of Ascent ending 6-6. The tables we quickly turned, however, as Liquid showed why they had selected the map. The Brazilian team went 9-1 on first kills in the second half, while Petra , G2's entry fragger, died first 5 times.

Once Team Liquid reached match point, a crucial double-kill from sarah let G2 string together a few rounds, but it was too little, too late.

The next map, Lotus, proved even more one-sided. Both sides went into G2's pick with aggression on their mind. It only worked out for Liquid, however, who successfully shut down G2's pincer plays and early map control. The momentum slowed down beginning the next half, as G2 picked up their first pistol round of the series. A 1v2 clutch from Joojina swung the pendulum back, allowing Liquid to close out the series with four consecutive round wins.
