NRG had a decent start on Pearl. Their defense was put to the test by Cloud9, as the first half ended 7-5 in favor of NRG. However, their Attacking side left much to be desired. Cloud9 had a stellar defense, and only allowed NRG to take 3 rounds in the second half, before ending the map 13-10.

NRG returned the favor on Lotus. Starting off on the attack, NRG managed to pull out a strong attack this time, as they managed to end the first half 7-5. Cloud9 tried to fight back in the second half, but it was not enough, as NRG took the map 13-9.

Haven was a very even affair between the two teams. Both teams had a decent start, but Cloud9 managed to stop NRG from taking the lead, and ended the first half 6-6. NRG again started off with a strong defense, but Cloud9 again managed to stay alive, and pushed the map into Overtime. But this didn’t last long, as NRG quickly swept up the two rounds and won the map 14-12.

NRG have moved on to the Lower Bracket Finals of VCT Americas, while Cloud9 are eliminated.

LOUD had a strong start on Fracture. They made the most out of their attacking side, and ended the first half 7-5. The Brazilian side carried this momentum forward, but EG were not going to go down without a fight. They managed to claw back 4 more rounds, before conceding the map 13-9.

It was a similar start for LOUD on Ascent. Starting off strong on their attacking side, they again managed to take the first half 7-5. This time however, EG fought back, with a stellar attacking side of their own. Even though LOUD managed to get to 11, EG pulled off a 4 round win streak to win the map 13-11.

The Brazilians did not take kindly to this loss, as they absolutely demolished the North American side on Bind. Showing off a near perfect Attacking side, EG only managed to win 2 rounds, as the half ended 10-2 in favor of LOUD. The North American outfit could only claw back one more round in the second half, before LOUD took the map 13-3.

LOUD have made their way to the Grand Finals of VCT Americas, while EG will have one more chance, as they will face NRG in the Lower Bracket Finals.
