Heretics flipped the script with an unbelievable 10-2 attack half before closing out Bind with a 13-2 win. Team Heretics Duelist, Wo0t, put on a world-class performance with a 20/6/3 KDA and an unreal 58% headshot rate.

Icebox was the next map, picked by Team Heretics. The EMEA giants secured an 8-4 defensive half lead, with strong performances from Initiator RieNs and Flex paTiTek. The roster continued this success on the attacking half with a crazy 4k from Wo0t. Team Heretics managed to win Icebox with a 13-6 scoreline.

Lotus was the final map in this matchup. This was where G2 Esports won against Team Heretics to secure its victory a few days ago. However, the matchup wasn't even close this time. Team Heretics managed to put up an electric 9-3 attack half with paTiTek getting a phenomenal ace clutch and IGL Boo calling some excellent rounds. Team Heretics managed to win Lotus 13-8 to secure the 3-0 victory.

Final result: Team Heretics defeated G2 Esports 3-0 (Bind 13-2; Icebox 13-6; Lotus 13-8)
