Throughout the best of 5 matches the teams fought back and forth, but ultimately LOUD came out on top, beating Optic 3-1 in matches.

That being said, OpTic put up a great fight against LOUD and definitely deserves being one of the top two teams in the world.

In terms of maps, this is how it played out:
