Before getting into the details of the final day, here’s a summary of the Major so far. The Major follows the same schedule and rules like other Valve Majors with $ 1M USD prize pool and valuable DPC points to qualify for The International 2019.

Upper Bracket Details

The upper bracket was quite straight forward as Team Secret showed promising results as they wiped the floor with any opponents they faced until Virtus Pro in the upper bracket finals. VP defeated Team Secret with a promising 2-1 and throwing them to the lower bracket. Liquid, EG, and Fnatic lost their respective matches dropping them to the lower bracket.

Lower Bracket Details

To be honest, the lower bracket was a mess as many great teams had to play to their best abilities and strength to survive. Sadly, Liquid didn’t do that well as the fans were expecting. This could be possible due to missing out their best core player Miracle- who missed the Major due to some personal issues. The former TI6 winner from Wings, Shadow joined the squad which initially seemed huge but the team eventually got eliminated in lower bracket round 3 by Fnatic.

EG, on the other hand, seemed strong even eliminating TI8 finalists, PSG.LGD with a stunning 2-0 score along with eliminating Vici Gaming with a score of 2-1

Although the team didn’t do well in the lower bracket finals losing to Team Secret with 2-0 allowing the Team Secret to take revenge in the finals against VP.
