Coming into this season both teams had roster changes. Blue kept a core of Recry, ArHaN and Adam and changed the other half of the squad, whereas Uncia changed only Fatal for Butcherr, who came over from sister team Panthera.

Considering recent form and the advantage of having less changes to the roster Uncia came into this as a strong favorite.

The randomizer picked Oasis as the first map. On City Center both teams opened on a 2 supports, 3 tanks composition of Lucio, Ana, D.Va, Roadhog, Soldier 76 with the last hero being Winston for Kongdoo and Reinhardt for Afreeca. Despite strong play by Recry, Uncia took control of the point first and kept it for 61%. Followeing Afreeca took over and defending for up to 79%. After that both squads exchanged control sporadically and two prolonged overtimes later Uncia took City Center 100–99.

For University the squads chose similar compositions again: Lucio, Ana, Reinhardt, Zarya, Genji; with Roadhog for Kongdoo and Soldier 76 for Afreeca. This time it was Blue claiming the point initially , but after 38% Uncia took control for themselves. When they lost it at 37% birdring traded the Genji for McCree and that helped his team reclaim the point and maintain control, until the end of the section. That earned them a 100–77 victory and a quick 1–0 lead in the series.

For map two, Blue selected King’s Row. Recry and co. attacked on a 2–2–2 composition of Lucio, Ana, Reinhardt, Zarya, Soldier, Genji against Uncia’s Mercy, Ana, Reinhardt, Zarya, Roadhog, Soldier 76. On the back of a surprisingly quickly charged Graviton Surge by DongHyuN, Blue secured A and started pushing the cart, having 5:15 left in the time bank. Regardless of the good assault on A, Uncia stifled their pushes in the alleys easily. Having 2 minutes left, Recry traded 76 for Reaper, but it didn’t work out. He followed on that with change to Pharah for their last attempt, but that didn’t do much either and despite the good time on A, their offense scored only 89m past it.

On the defense Afreeca started on Lucio, Ana, Reinhardt, Zarya, Roadhog, Soldier 76. Uncia attacked on similar picks, only difference being birdring on McCree instead of 76. Scoring similarly quick takeover of A, Kongdoo started pushing the payload, having over 5 minutes left in the bank. Less than 2 minutes later, led by a nanoboosted Butcherr, they reached Blue’s distance and increased their lead to 2–0.

Looking for a reverse sweep, Freecs selected Volskaya Industries as the third map. They opened on the defense, using Lucio, Ana, Reinhardt, D.Va, Soldier 76, Sombra versus Kongdoo’s Lucio, Ana, Reinhardt, D.Va, Roadhog, Genji. As the ninja didn’t succeed on the first push it was traded by birdring for McCree. Initially that didn’t do much either, but in a last moment push they secured A and headed toward B having only the bonus of 4 minutes, they just received. However, carrying over the momentum they got on the point instantly and secured B, having 2:51 left in the bank.

After changing sides Blue attacked on Lucio, Ana, Reinhardt, Winston, Widowmaker, Genji against Kongdoo’s standard for the previous patch Lucio, Ana, Reinhardt, D.Va, Roadhog, Soldier 76. On the back of a quadra kill by Adam they secured A quickly and started assaulting on B, with 7 minutes left on the clock. For B Recry traded the Widowmaker for McCree and Butcherr gave up D.Va for Winston. The change seemingly favored Afreeca as they secured 2 of the 3 ticks, before getting repelled. On the next push they claimed the third one, ending their offensive run with 4:38 in the bank.

For their second attack birdring and co. selected a dive composition of Lucio, Ana Winston, D.Va, Widowmaker, Genji against Afreeca’s Lucio, Ana, Reinhardt, D.Va, Torbjorn, Soldier 76. As the ninja wasn’t able to do much birdring changed to Soldier 76. That helped Kongdoo secure A and as DNCE traded the sniper for Tracer, they started pushing toward B, having 1:40 left on the clock. Their attacks got repelled and eventually their time ran out, before claiming B.

For their second attempt on the offense Afreeca opened using Lucio, Ana, Reinhardt, D.Va, McCree, Genji. Kongdoo’s defense was made of similar set-up, only difference being Roadhog instead of McCree. Regardless of birdring’s Genji decimating them, eventually they secured A and started pushing toward B, having only 1:14 left on the clock. However this time they got on the point much easier and after a prolonged overtime they secured it, despite birdring and Panker switching to Winston and Mei.

After losing the previous map, Kongdoo selected Watchpoint: Gibraltar as the fourth one. They opened on the offense with Lucio, Ana, Reinhardt, Winston, Roadhog, Genji against what looks like Afreeca’s comfort composition for the current patch: Lucio, Ana, Reinhardt, Zarya, Soldier 76, Genji. Kongdoo got past the first point quickly, having 5:31 left on the clock as they did so. In response Recry changed to McCree, but that didn’t do much either and Uncia got past the second point similarly quickly, with 5:44 in the bank. For the final point Butcherr and birdring switched to Zarya and Soldier 76, respectively. Kongdoo’s momentum finally got canceled as ArHaN traded the ninja for Reaper. That didn’t last long however and birdring and co. delivered the payload, having 3:33 left in the time bank.

For their attack Afreeca selected Lucio, Ana, Reinhardt, D.Va, Soldier 76, Hanzo. Uncia attempted to defend on Lucio, Ana, Reinhardt, D.Va, Roadhog, Soldier 76, but Recry’s arrows decimated them and the cart was getting past the first point with 4:48 on the clock. In a response DNCE swapped from Roadhog to Winston. That forced Recry to switch to McCree, but Blue still got past the second point, having 3:45 left. However Kongdoo’s defense on the final point turned out to be too strong and they took the series 3–1, as they prevented Afreeca from delivering in time.
