During the grand finals M-eS Team IWNL were at the top of their game, with top 10 placements throughout all 5 matches, and even 1st place finishes during match 1 & 2. They also boasted many kills throughout the finals which allowed them to keep their number 1 spot all the way till end. The first runner up, Synchronic on the other hand, had a bit of a rough start, placing as low as 10th by the end of the 2nd match. However, they were able to bring it back with a 2nd place finish during match 4 and even winning the final match. Although this was not enough to beat M-eS Team IWNL, who had not only gained a lot of their points through kills, but through placement points as well. Thanks to quick thinking players on their team, who even when they were all by themselves during some matches, managed to make it into the top 10 to score their team placement points & kill points.
