Ironically, they had also won their first match against w7m, defeating them 7-2 to qualify for the playoff stages.

This time , the playoffs was switched from best of three to the best of five format. The move was done in order to make it a high stakes final . However Team BDS- dominated through out the whole playoff stage winning against all of their opponents by large margins. With a quarter final win against FaZe Clan with 2-1 . Later they swept Team Furia 2-0 in the semifinals and 3-0 over the finals.
