Cloud9 have come out victorious after defeating FORZE

The team coached by Vladislav "nafany" Gorshkov was invited directly to the quarterfinals and defeated Falcons and GODSENT with ease on route to the final series. On the other hand, FORZE started their participation in the online tournament back in February when they joined the first Swiss-style group. After a 0-2 start in the first phase, Andrey "Jerry" Mekhryakov and company were about to be eliminated, but they turned their luck around by winning six straight best-of-three series to secure a place in the championship game.

They turned around their early disadvantage in the Swiss group, beating ATK, 500, and Sangal along the way, and qualified for the playoffs. Their qualifying was swiftly followed by three straight victories over MOUZ, Virtus.pro, and Bad News Eagles. Dmitry "⁠sh1ro⁠" Sokolov finished as the highest-rated player at the event with a 1.49 rating averaged over six maps played.
