The last relegation match was set between Splyce and Rush and this was going to be a close match. Splyce started out best in the series as they won Mirage 16-13, but they couldn't keep up their strong play on the second map, Cobblestone, which they lost 13-16. LILMAN had a great game versus Splyce. The decider for the match was Overpass, where especially Derrick "LILMAN" Boyne had a great day. Rush managed to take the lead in the match and they didn't let that go, winning 16-10 to clinch the spot in ESL Pro League Season 5.
