Swole Patrol and Bravado was the next to finish, and there wasn't much to say about this game apart from complete American domination.

The final game to finish up was the absolute battle between two MDL sides, with Freedom 35 facing off against The Pioneers. Dust 2 acted as it usually does being an extremely close affair on both halves, with the Freedom boys narrowly squeaking out a 16-14 win. Nuke was second, and it was a fairly simple win for The Pioneers as they secured a fairly comfortable 16-8 on the map. With Train the decider, The Pioneers took the CT-side advantage to take 11 rounds in the first half, but it wasn't enough as Freedom 35 one-upped them by securing 12 rounds. Their 2-1 win was secured by a 16-13 on Train, with Jonathan "Jonji" Carey managing to hold a 1.41 record over all three maps.
