It was Game 2 where Lunatic scored a clean sweep. During the game, Lunatic hardly let Pandemonium to take the control point at all and won 3-0. The assertion of Lunatic’s dominance in control maps wasn’t unfounded, and they evened the score 1-1.

Game 3 on King’s Row

Lunatic showed an impressive display of skill to secure a flawless victory and took the series to match point.

Game 4 on Numbani

Thanks to Miro’s Winston constantly harassing the enemy and using Jump Pack to disengage, Lunatic showcased their exceptional team coordination and successfully defended the first round on Numbani. Pandemonium seemed to have lost focus, sometimes aggressively pursuing enemy on their own and getting picked off. Lunatic then took the first control point on attack and secured their spot in the finals.
