The final standings for the tournament are the following:
NRG were far too hot for OpTic to handle and ran out 16-8 winners on Overpass to make it 2-1 in the series. Just one round separated the sides at the break, but the North Americans set up a water-tight defence in the second half and won nine rounds in a row,

22:06 OpTic take the win to tie up the series
OpTic closed out the map 16-14 on a shoddy buy as NRG pushed for overtime to level up the series. Overpass is coming up next. Can it live up to the expectations set by Nuke, which had plenty of stellar individual plays?

22:03 CeRq pulls off a massive clutch
With NRG's hopes hanging by a thread, Tsvetelin "CeRq" Dimitrov clutched a 1v4 to prevent OpTic from hitting map point. Watch closely the frag onto Nikolaj "niko" Kristensen.
21:20 CeRq gets the ace in the pistol round
CeRq opens up the action on Nuke with a stunning all-headshots USP ace on Nuke. It could prove to be a crucial round for the Bulgarian, who has the second-lowest rating on NRG at cs_summit, 1.06.
20:08 OpTic through to grand final with 2-0 victory
The Danish team have beaten BIG 16-11 on Dust2 to win the consolidation final 2-0. Next up, OpTic will take on NRG in a best-of-five grand final but Kristian "k0nfig" Wienecke & company will start the series 0-1 behind as they came from the lower bracket.
