Nongshim was victorious just two days before, winning 2-1, but failed to make the most of its double-map ban advantage.

Nongshim banned Summit, arguably GE's strongest map, and Ascent, the map Global won in the three-map Upper Final. The series played out on NS's Sunset, GE's Split, NS's Abyss, GE's Lotus, and the decider map of Haven. NS won the first two maps, 13-11 and 13-2, before losing the series to GE, 13-10, 13-5, and 13-10.

After looking down and out to start, GE properly bounced back, looking like the far sharper side while facing a 7-3 deficit in the pistols.

Global Esports IGL xavi8k had the highest rating in the series at 1.19 while also leading his team in kills with 79. The MVP, however, was awarded to UdoTan , who dropped 77 kills while taking part in 30 first engagements as the team's go-to Duelist. He was one of four players on GE to finish with more than 70 kills. In the losing effort, Francis had a match-high 83 kills while Dambi had a joint-second-best 79 kills.
