In the Group A Winners' match, BOOBIE did his best to carry Whalers with 30 kills and a 1.51 rating, but JonahP shouldered just a bit more for his side. The Canadian's 32 kills and 1.86 rating coupled with a 10-3 second half CT-side were enough to secure the event's first playoff berth.

Alcoholics Anonymous were able to bounce back from their opening loss to beat District 7 in a series where each team narrowly won their opponent's map pick. The decider however, was all Alcoholics Anonymous, with all five players amassing more frags than District 7's top fragger in the former of Michael "MkaeL" De Luca.
