The match ended up going to a Game 5 Round 11, which was when LG’s ‘JKap’ pulled off an insane 1v3 to close out the match and secure LG’s revenge against OpTic for a loss in their previous meeting.

However, it was too little, too late for LG as they finished a disappointing fifth place with a 6-8 record.
Although OpTic’s 10-4 record tied them with UNILAD and eUnited, they still finished as the top overall seed as their overall performances against the two teams secured them the tiebreaker.
