Inferno, the French team's pick saw them run away to a 10-2 start before Aurora began their comeback on their T side. The comeback was eventually denied by the French as they picked up a 13-9 win to start the series. Another slow start from Aurora on Nuke saw 3DMAX lock in eight-in-a-row to take an 8-4 lead. A force buy win after going down in the pistol saw Aurora bounce back with Norwi pulling his team over the line at 13-10.

The series decider was a tight affair as both teams knew what was on the line saw Anubis get underway with a tied opening half. Neither team gave an inch as it was a back-and-forth trade of rounds before the French captain Maka stepped up to clutch out a crucial 1v1 against Lack1 and then a triple from him saw 3DMAX hit match point first. The French team made sure to not choke again like on Nuke, as they locked in Anubis at 13-11.

3DMAX will face The MongolZ in the Grand Final of the Skyesports Championship 2024 later on today.
