Although the first game went to Cloud9, Kawhi evened the score in Ashamane’s Fall thanks to their Paladin, Rogue and Priest taking down the enemy Warlock. Another win followed for Kawhi in game three within Empyrean Domain. Although the enemy Mage used spell after spell to take down the Priest’s health total, it wasn’t enough, as the latter player healed back up. When Kawhi decided to make a big push for the enemy Warlock, they secured the kill and earned another point.
Both teams fought well in the Tiger’s Peak arena, with Cloud9 using triple crowd control against their opponent. Kawhi refused to give in and used Hammer of Justice for the stun and takedown. When it came down to match point, Kawhi claimed victory over Cloud9 by swiftly taking down the opposing Monk in Maldraxxus Coliseum.
