The top two teams from each group advanced to a best-of-three single-elimination playoff.[1][2]
Natus Vincere won the event, defeating Luminosity Gaming in the final. Team Dignitas and Astralis placed third–fourth. FaZe Clan and mousesports finished fifth–sixth, while SK Gaming and Virtus.pro placed seventh–eighth. The listed prize pool was USD 100,000.[1][3]
