On Day 1 of the finals, amateur team R8 Esports claimed their first "Chicken Dinner" by securing 12 fierce eliminations, easily defeating their competition. Nigma Galaxy, eager to take control, pushed back in Match 2 and secured the win after a stellar performance by star player Raouf, who earned six of their team’s ten eliminations. However, this was not a contest dominated by professionals alone, as newcomers like GOAT Quality stunned viewers with two podium finishes in Matches 2 and 3, propelling them to third place on the leaderboard by the end of the first day. In front of them stood Regnum Carya Esports, who ended the day with a comfortable 11-point lead and two "Chicken Dinners."

THE721 AGGRESSOR went on to win the final match, a bittersweet victory, as Regnum Carya Esports were crowned champions. 4Merical Vibes also concluded the tournament with a respectable honor, as star player DOK was awarded MVP of the Grand Finals, with an incredible 19 eliminations, 17 knocks, and nine assists.
