eUnited which was led by the tournament MVP Chris “Simp” Lehr, with James “Clayster” Eubanks, Alec “Arcitys” Sanderson, Preston “Prestinni” Sanderson and Tyler “aBeZy” Pharris showed perfect chemistry once again just like the CWL Pro League Finals in Miami last month, thereby winning back-to-back championship titles.
100 Thieves started off with a loss in the first round, meaning which they had to win six lower-bracket matches to qualify for the final, further including three matches earlier Sunday. They responded like champions by beating Team Reciprocity 3-1 to open the day and then swept Enigma6 Group and OpTic Gaming back-to-back to finally reach the matchup with eUnited. 100 Thieves dominated OpTic Gaming, defeating them 3-0 to face eUnited in the Grand Final. Seaside Hardpoint was the first map and despite overturning OpTic in a dominant display, they gave up against eUnited, only managing 126 points to eU’s 250.
