An arakyn double saw ROG pick up both pistols on Inferno. After converting against the eco, ROG hit double digits before WP brought out the guns. Nox won out a 1v1 on the A site in a post plant situation to give WP their first T round and WP went on to tie the game at 10-10, taking three rounds in a row, after breaking ROG's economy. WP were looking to run away with the game as their T side went on a roll to take a 13-11 lead but ROG hung on. The teams kept trading rounds before a Nox triple helped WP secure match point on a quick B hit. It was another B hit that saw WP close out the game with vel0city's multi-kill in round 30 turning out to be the deciding factor.
