OpTic kept their momentum going into Game 3, taking six straight rounds after losing Round 2, but Astralis rallied, ending the half 8-7 in favor of OpTic. However, OpTic once again dominated on CT side, taking four quick rounds in succession before closing out the series 16-11.

For their victory, OpTic will be taking home the $400,000 grand prize while Astralis will have to settle for $140,000. OpTic already have a spot in the ELEAGUE Major Offline Qualifier since they qualified for the last Major at ESL One Cologne 2016.
