On the map Nuke, a real show unfolded. Initially, Team Spirit struggled to find a single round on the attack, trailing 3 map points. Then, in overtime, they won 3 rounds on the attack but couldn't close out on defense. However, FaZe Clan couldn't mount a full comeback, and the map ended 19:16 in favor of Team Spirit.

On the deciding map, Vertigo, FaZe Clan started with an incredible streak of rounds on the defense side, leading 7:0. Team Spirit players struggled, with zontixx at one point having a 0:9 statistic.
