CLG Red began their match on Mirage on the back foot, as the Europeans took the opening pistol. The Americans managed to recover by the end of the half, seeing the scoreline to 6-9 in their detriment. However, Julia "bullet girl" Kurzyńska and Squared really put the pedal to the metal in the second half, putting up six round in a row to put themselves on match point.
A last ditch effort from CLG Red saw them earn two rounds and stave off the inevitable for a time, but Square were not to be denied, and took the map 16-8.
