However, Lynn Vision ran out of steam in overtime as Haunted House secured Anubis 16-14.
On the decider- Dust2, Haunted House had a hard time breaking through Lynn Vision's CT-defense as the the latter scooped up a comfortable 9-3 lead at halftime.

Kaleido vs
SemperFi
The final game of the upper semi-finals saw Kaleido take on SemperFi. The Aussies were off to a shaky start on their own map pick of Inferno, conceding a slight 5-7 disadvantage at halftime but they completely disappeared in the second half as Kaleido posted a 6-1 T-side to close Inferno 13-6.
The Chinese side carried their momentum into the next map and secured a dominant 9-3 lead on the T-side off of suki's consistent multi-frag rounds but SemperFi went on a T-side run of their own, making it a single round game at 11-12. The Aussies fumbled at the last step, conceding a 11-13 loss and heading down to the lower bracket. Kaleido's 2-0 win nets them an upper-final slot in Group B.
