Hansel “BnTeT” Ferdinandand co. barely managed to scrape past Flash 2-1 in the upper bracket final and became the first team to qualify for the main event.
Being the only non-Chinese team in the qualifier and on the verge of elimination, MVP PK unexpectedly went on to beat Eclipse 2-1 in the lower bracket final and Flash 2-0 in the consolidation final.
