The final day of the $300,000 tournament, where the group stage was held in Yancheng, began with FlyQuest beating JiJieHao 2-1 in the third-place decider.
Despite the loss, Mohammad "BOROS" Malhas was in dominant form throughout the match, posting a series-high 1.48 rating to finish the tournament as the highest-rated player (1.24 rating), ahead of Iulian "regali" Harjău and Yi "JamYoung" Yang.
TYLOO and Lynn Vision played out a triple overtime affair on Inferno that was only settled after 41 rounds, with Sike "z4kr" Zhang raising eyebrows with a quick 4K with an AWP on the CT side.
The second map, Ancient, was much more straightforward as TYLOO picked up ten rounds on the defense before calmly putting the game past Lynn Vision.
