For the standard tournament, Infamous GamingJ.Storm, ggng, and Team Juniper went head to head in the double elimination challenger brackets. After advancing through the upper brackets for the finals, J.Storm then took on Infamous Gaming who prevailed through the lower brackets. In reverse sweep with two overpowering matches, the NA team had advanced to the championship series where last season's winner, Team Serenity was waiting.
