They have not been able to win a single series and have a 0-5 W-L record. All matches in week 4 were quick 2-0 victories by the winning teams.

They defeated Thunder Predator 2-1 and Infamous 2-0 in week 4, while on the other hand, beastcoast incurred their first loss after getting beaten by Infamous. So, things look spicy in the region, with the top four teams in strong contention for the two top spots.
