The scoreline to keep in mind

| Lotus | 8 | 13 |
| Sunset | 13 | 5 |
| Haven | 13 | 10 |
What to watch for
- The Summit comeback. LOUD were 3-9 down at half time on the first map and won 10 of the last 12 rounds. That swing set the tone for the series.
- Vitality's answer on Lotus. The European side levelled the final comfortably, 13-8, which made the next map decisive.
- Sunset. LOUD's most dominant map, 13-5.
- erde. The 18-year-old Chilean in-game leader, Roberto Lobos, was named MVP. Watch how often LOUD's set-ups put teammates in the right place rather than relying on one star.
