En route to the final stage of this single-elimination qualifier, FURIA beat Não Tem Como in an exciting three-map series in which Kaike "KSCERATO" Cerato stole the show with a 1.33 rating, while Sharks dismantled dreamWorse after just two maps.
But in the semi-final series against Isurus, FURIA's main driving force was Andrei "arT" Piovezan, who led the charge for his team on both Inferno - one of the Argentinians' strongest maps - and Overpass to help secure a quick 2-0 victory.

Renato "nak" Nakano's side took the lead in the series against Yeah with a close 16-13 win on Mirage before easing past their opponents on Train, where Leonardo "leo_drk" Oliveira ran riot (1.86 rating, 122 ADR).
