BTRG and B.O.O.T-d[S] were in top form right through the group stage and made it through their respective semifinal match-ups without a hitch. The finals started off with BTRG taking a comfortable win on Mirage, which was followed by an intense hustle which witnessed B.O.O.T-d[S] taking control of the situation with aggressive plays, but BTRG adopted well in time to take the game into overtime, slowly turning things around to walk away with a victory.

With this BTRG secure themselves a slot for the Global Finals while also pocketing a cash prize of $7,500. Let’s see how the team performs on the big stage where it will be joined by other teams representing their country and regions, resulting in an epic showdown.
