Liquid won Kafe with a 7-4 score with three rounds on the attack and four on the defense. FaZe stepped up on Chalet and barely won the map in Overtime. It was a crucial map win that allowed FaZe to stay alive in the tournament. The final map was Coastline and Team Liquid looked extremely comfortable on this map.
