Over the three days of the tournament, Strife dropped just 2 out of 12 maps they played. Up to that point however, the Apeks Rebels, the academy team for Apeks, had an even better record, they had lost just a single map before running into Strife, so went into the Grand Final in as many peoples favorites. However, in a match that lasted barely 3 hours Strife were able to pick apart the Rebels' game plan and calls, to win the match, and Fragadelphia 16 in sweet 2-0 match. The Final started on Mirage, where Apeks Rebels started off well, going 8:7, however were unable to find any meaningful calls on the T side, where they won just a single more round, to go on to lose that match 16:9. Inferno was the final map of the tournament, Strife went head to head one final time and came out of it 16:12, for a 2-0 match, plus the attached $24,000 for winning the tournament.

For both teams, the path to the Final had been relatively simple, with neither team having too many moments of profuse sweating. Apeks Rebels had smashed down Kinship (2-0), Apeks Legends (2-0) and then Big Chillin' (2-0). The only match they dropped a map on was next, against Carpe Diem. After a slightly calamitous play of Inferno, Carpe Diem took it 16-8. The Rebels then came back from the break with newfound energy and tactics, the Academy team were fantastic on the CT side of Overpass, having an 11:4 half, and managed to keep down Carpe Diem's attempts in the second half, ending Overpass on 16:12. Next up was Nuke, and the Rebels by this point were back on form to their usual selves, taking it 16:9, for a 2:1 match. They then went back to the 2:0 power matches against ATK & Touch Point. Strife also went 2-0 against Apeks Legends & Touch Point, just like the Rebels had done. Unfortunately for Strife though, Carpe Diem also tested them, and came tantalisingly close to winning the match over Strife. The first map, Vertigo went to Carpe Diem 16:12. Strife narrowly took Mirage next, in a nearly equal 16:14 game. Lastly, both teams pushed themselves to the limit on Overpass, going into overtime twice before Strife finally distanced themselves from Carpe Diem, going 25:23 for one of the closest wins of all the teams in the tournament. Next up for Strife, they took on TeamOne in a 2:1 match, where Nuke was a washout for Strife (16:2), and TeamOne ran out of juice on both Overpass (9:16) & Mirage (10:16) for Strife's last win to get them into the Final.
