The narratives repeated going into Vertigo as VERTEX got off to a 3-0 start on the T-side, only for LFO to close the gap and steal the lead at 4-3. VERTEX geared up and toppled LFO's defense to close out a 9-6 half in their favor again but this time, everyone from LFO seemed to be in the groove.
LFO could not have asked for a better start to the second half, as they strung up 4 in a row to close the gap straight away and get ahead at 10-9. VERTEX took a breather, and turned things around, leaving no gaps in their defense to reach 10-14, as they stood within touching distance of closing out the series.
LFO went for a fast mid play with a couple of upgraded pistols and SMGs with their backs against match and series point at 15-11 and secured a plant on the B-site, breaking VERTEX's economy to stay alive in the series. Things nearly got out of hand for LFO as VERTEX, with a saved M4 and 4 USPs brought the round down to a 4v2 in their advantage but LFO held their nerve and closed the round but VERTEX bought the next round and denied LFO's T-side execute, closing out Vertigo 16-13 and the series 2-0.
