The first map was taken by JD Gaming in 31 minutes, after which, in a tough battle, Top Esports brought the game to a draw in 48 minutes. The third map went to JD Gaming in 32 minutes. The latter were one step away from victory, but Top Esports showed an excellent performance on map 4 and ended the game in a draw. The last map was not so intense, and as a result, the Nexus of players from Top Esports fell and JD Gaming won the match and the tournament.
