The four teams that finished first in group play in the event -- OpTic Gaming, Team Heretics, KOI and the Vancouver Surge -- each won their quarterfinal playoff matches with ease, leaving the four best teams from the start as the final four remaining teams. Heretics got things started with a 3-1 win over the Boston Breach, losing 250-175 on Hacienda Hardpoint before ripping off three straight wins -- 6-1 on Rewind Search and Destroy, 3-0 on Vault Control, and 250-225 on Skyline Hardpoint. Heretics will next face OpTic in one semifinal after the latter also won its quarterfinal 3-1. OpTic opened its tilt with 100 Thieves with a 250-116 win on Skyline Hardpoint before 100 Thieves bounced back with a 6-4 win on Rewind Search and Destroy. A 3-1 win on Hacienda Control put OpTic on the verge of winning, and victory was secured in the next map with a 250-193 win on Rewind Hardpoint. The other side of the bracket were a pair of sweeps. First, the Surge beat FiveFears 250-164 on Vault Hardpoint to open their match, then won 6-1 on Dealership Search and Destroy and 3-2 on Protocol Control to put the match away. KOI then made quick work of OMiT, winning 250-144 on Vault Hardpoint, 6-5 on Protocol Search and Destroy, and 3-1 on Vault Control. The tournament culminates on Sunday, with OpTic and Heretics facing off in one semifinal and KOI playing the Surge in the other. The losers will then play a third-place match later Sunday followed by the grand final.
