The game went into overtime, and once again the Brazilian team showed composure under pressure, closing the map with a score of 16-12. The match continued intense on Overpass, where The MongolZ dominated the defense, forcing the series into a fifth and deciding map.

YEKINDAR also shone, recording 97 kills and a rating of 1.32. For The MongolZ, 910 and senzu were the most consistent, but it was not enough to avoid defeat.
