Match one opened up with a big win for newcomers, San Diego Rarity. They claimed six kills as they fought off Noble on the hills of Miramar. They will be looking to continue this form and aim for a promotion. Their win was followed by a Chicken Dinner for Almost who are fighting hard to stay in the contenders. They took nine kills as they fought their way through a smoke barrage in the end of the match and finished off the Head Hunters.
The third match of the day was claimed by another newcomer, Velocity9. They tried to break into double digits with their kills, but couldn’t grab it.

The final match went to Tier8, but it wasn’t enough to earn them promotion.
