This set eUnited up for a match against Chaos in the semifinals. Unfortunately for the EPL side, they were never able to get anything going against Cameron "cam" Kern and his team, with the former Singularity man and Maxim "wippie" Shepelev leading their team to two concise wins on Dust2 and Mirage.

The second semifinal saw Gen.G take on Just For Fun, in a rematch from the first qualifier earlier in the week. While Yassine "Subroza" Taoufik's mix was able to scrape out a win against Damian "daps" Steele's side in that first meeting, they would have no such luck this time around. In fact, daps himself put up a monster performance, finishing the series with a 1.54 rating as Gen.G did not allow Just For Fun to reach double-digits on either map.
