Tensions were high! Stakes were on the table! The fierce battle between Oxygen Esports and RARE Esports is finally finished. But, which team won?
The first map pick was quite a shock! RARE Esports wanted to play against Oxygen Esports in Bind. Bear in mind that, Oxygens Esports favorite map is Bind. Oxygen Esports had played forthy matches on Bind and won thirty of them. A whooping %75 win rate! However, RARE Esports didn’t care about the map or the win rate. In the first match, we saw a tremendous display of skill from qw1. With Jett, he was truly unstoppable. RARE Esports won the first round with 13-8.

In my humble opinion, the last round was the greatest match of the series. RARE Esports fought valiantly. qw1, Magnitude, MACHINERIS, BARBAROSSA, and mt1xo played spectacularly. However, Oxygen Esports without a doubt was the better team. Sage player Turko, supported his teammates with grace. In the last game, he was truly a guardian angel to his team. Oxygen Esports won the match 13-9 and the series 2-1.
