For Flyquest, L4ce was playing in place of sonder, as the latter was not feeling well.

While Flyquest had fought hard against Xipto Esports, with map three heading into OT before their loss, ZETA was seeking redemption after a 2-0 loss, and suzu especially wanted to be sure they didn't leave Berlin without a single win.

The series commenced on Haven, chosen by ZETA where Flyquest got off to a blistering 7-1 start. Evv and Starbound between them had 25 kills in the first half alone. ZETA recovered with three rounds to end the half 8-4 in Flyquest's favor, but with Flyquest winning the second pistol and the upcoming buy round, they locked in their victory 13-6.

Map two was Sunset, and while the first few rounds saw Flyquest lead 4-2, ZETA's suzu decided to take matters into her own hands and with her consistent paintshell kills, ZETA countered with five rounds of their own, and the half ended 7-5 in ZETA's favor. After the sideswap, suzu continued her rampage, finding 20 kills in just the second half — more than anyone else on Flyquest had in the whole game. ZETA took the win 13-10 to push the series to map 3.

The momentum of the previous map seemed to carry over for ZETA and suzu both on Ascent, with the Pacific representatives finding a blistering 6-1 start. Moco and suzu between them were able to dominate the first half, with the former finding two consecutive 3Ks in crucial rounds to ensure ZETA's dominance.

Despite two more rounds being found by Flyquest in the half, the 9-3 scoreline saw ZETA division with a massive lead. Despite Flyquest trying to stay in the running with a pistol win, ZETA would not be denied, and closed it out 13-5 to eliminate Flyquest and find their first win in Berlin.

Suzu was the MVP for ZETA with a +20 kill differential, 11 first kills, and an average ACS of 300 through the series.
