The Malaysia-based team got off to a good start as it cleared Game 1 in a breeze, locking Execration to only 8 team kills after 34 minutes of gameplay.

Execration tried to bounce back in Game 2 and force a final and deciding Game 3 but ultimately bowed to Geek Slate's snowballing.

This was the Filipino team's first two losses of the tournament as it was previously the only team without a single lost match in any of its best-of-3 series in this year's DPC.
