Full time: Nightspire Syndicate 8 — Dustfangs 3. A semifinal billed as a marathon never left the starting blocks. The middle pairing seized territory in the first four rounds and refused to return it, leaving the Dustfangs guessing where each coming hit would land.

The start that settled it

Verve claimed five of the opening six duels. With middle secured, Brick's utility sliced the map in two and forced the Dustfangs into desperate late-round punts. By the side swap the advantage was emphatic, and the whole arena sensed it.

“Tonight wasn't about winning duels. We conquered the map before the duels began.” — Sanna Lindqvist, head coach

The retake that finished them

Round eleven belongs on the highlight reel for years: a three-man retake directed by Bastion, closed by a Volt flank the observers never tracked. The Dustfangs burned their second timeout immediately after — and never regrouped.
