The VCT Ascension in the Pacific region is about to conclude. A total of 10 teams started out in the Group Stage, out of which only six made it through. These six teams are going through a single elimination bracket in the Playoffs. BLEED and NAOS got the #1 seed in their groups, which allowed them to skip a match in the Playoffs. Day 9 has two matches lined up, and one of them is between BLEED and BOOM Esports.
Day 8 of the event had two elimination matches. The first was between SCARZ and Fancy United Esports. After a rather smooth map one, the second map went into overtime, with Fancy United giving it their all. Unfortunately, Fancy wasn't able to win any maps and lost the BO3 (Best of Three) series by 0-2, which led to them being eliminated.
The second match had a similar result. BOOM Esports had a comfortable win over Bonkers as they closed out the BO3 series with a 2-0 win. The first map, Haven came down to a scoreline of 13-6, whereas the second map, Lotus, was closer with 13-11 as the score.
