And in spectacular fashion with Australia’s Mad Dog staging an incredible comeback after losing their first match to South Korea’s top seed, Give It. Which put the local team in a position of having to win four matches in a row to secure the victory and a trip to the finals at BlizzCon. Which they did, also securing the lion's share of the $50,000 USD prize pool.

After going down 3-0 in their first match of the event to South Korea’s Give It, third-seeded ANZ team, Mad Dog, was in tough spot to secure a spot in the grand finals. But in true championship team fashion, Yoske, Oxygen, Fresh, and Featherfeet regrouped and eliminated second-seeded ANZ team, Unitas GG, before going on to defeat both ROC (3-1) and Team Beast (3-1). For the semi-final match, Mad Dog went up against Give It, but this time reversed the curse so to speak by defeating the visitors 3-0.


For the final match up it came down to two Australian teams, top-seeded ANZ team, Gronks, and Mad Dog. With Mad Dog keeping their composure and incredible streak going, claiming the victory 4-2.

Next stop BlizzCon.
