Mirage was the pick of Liquid, and they took an early 6-3 lead to establish control early. HAVU brought the score back to 7-5 at halftime, but it was Liquid who continued their good form in the second half. The North Americans gave up just three rounds in the second period to win the map 13-8.

Dust2 was the decider, and Liquid began on the CT side. Both teams went on runs of rounds, as Liquid won six from seven and HAVU took the last five, to leave the game deadlocked at 6-6. Liquid took the match with another strong second half, losing a single round to win the map 13-7 and survive at DraculaN Season 6.
