Erik "fl0m" Flom and crowd favorites Mythic managed to push Yeah to the brink in a series that was much closer than a 2-0 scoreline in the Brazilians' favor would have you believe, as the American side was able to push Yeah to overtime on map one and to round thirty in map two. Kaitlin "Keiti" Boop led the server with 54 kills, but it just wasn't enough.
