De la Salle Purple would pull the game back to even as they dominate map two. Slippy showed off his impressive Genji skills in game two allowing his team to push almost the entire length of the map!

Game three kicked off with an impressive push from DLS Purple as they pushed the length of the map and took all three checkpoints. De la Salle Gold would pull the game all the way back off of an impressive display of aim from Vampire on Ashe.

Game Four with the trophy on the line, De La Salle Purple rallied together choosing King’s Row as the map. KingStu put on a Sojourn clinic racking up elimination after elimination leading DLS Purple to a game four victory. Series tied 2-2.

Game Five proved to be just as back and forth as the rest of the series had been as both teams fought for possession of the FlashPoint. This match up could not have been any closer as it came down to the final percentage!
