Ancient was as one-sided an affair as it could be as CRESCENT outclassed Retaliation 13-1, dropping just a solitary round to lock in a commanding 2-0 series win and proceed ahead in the tournament. The 0-2 loss for Retaliation means that their journey at the Gladiator's League Season 4 comes to an end.
