This was a tough finish that ended the Blue Boys' hopes of reaching the MVEC playoffs and LAN championship. We showed what we were capable of with convincing wins in Games 3 and 4 but struggled to maintain that level throughout the series. The emotional swings made it difficult for IC to stay composed and ultimately fell short in the deciding game.
Lucas Barry and
Jasper Lyttaker led the scoring efforts, while
Loegon Pete helped create opportunities for his teammates. There were strong stretches to build on, but consistency remains an important area for improvement for the Blue Boys.

This was a tough series for the Blue Boys as Grandview is one of the strongest teams in the NECC.
Cooper Davis was a standout, delivering a fantastic series and nearly carrying IC to a win on Bind with 33 kills and just 14 deaths. Finding a more consistent team rhythm will be key to turning close maps like these into wins.
