The French side will now take on HellRaisers, who had a hard time to beat local side Outbreak. The CIS-based team were the better side on de_inferno, winning 16-14, but then the Spaniards levelled the series on one map by picking up a 16-13 win on de_mirage. de_dust2 was the decider, and on this map HellRaisers were simply far too hot to handle as they ran out 16-6 winners.

Yegor "⁠markeloff⁠" Markelov was the MVP of the match as he totalled over 84 frags throughout the series and secured a whopping +35 K/D ratio.
