Erick "Xeppaa" Bach debuted for Cloud9’s roster but they were pushed into the lower bracket right from the first match with FURIA beating them in the opener with 2-1. FURIA on the other hand moves to cs_summit 7's Group C upper bracket after the win. Cloud 9 was already without Lucas "honda" Cano, after Paytyn "junior" Johnson due to document issues giving a green light for Xeppaa to play his first match for Cloud9.
The series started at Inferno where FURIA dominated the show until Cloud 9 made a comeback at Nuke and forced a decider but later lost their momentum and FURIA rose to a one-sided victory on Train with Kaike "KSCERATO" Cerato and an aggressive Andrei "arT" Piovezan on the AWP.
