Earlier this month, Energy Esports made their way through DUC with a clean 2-0 victory, while Sinister5 knocked White Rabbit Gaming down to the lower bracket, also with a clean 2-0. Energy Esports then faced off against Sinister5, losing 2-0. Sinister5 then took a victory against eXdee Gaming to finish their upper bracket run into the grand final.

Energy won the first game but Sinister5 came back with a vengeance, taking the next three games to claim the title of VS Gaming Dota 2 champions.
