Despite MIBR ’s loss, the title of best player of the series went to Erick "aspas" Santos for his incredible performance — 80 kills across three maps with 42 deaths, an average ADR of 156, and an impressive ACS of 272. It should be noted that the 80 kills mark is a new record in a Bo3 series, now held by the Brazilian player. The previous record belonged to Mert "Wo0t" Alkan, who scored 77.

Meanwhile, MIBR fall to the lower bracket, where  DRX  await them. That match will take place on September 29, with the loser eliminated from the tournament.
