Liquid beat FURIA in two maps, Nuke (16-13) and Overpass (16-4), to go on to the DreamHack Masters Dallas grand final where they will face the winner of the FaZe vs. ENCE match.

Doubles by Yuri "⁠yuurih⁠" Santos and Rinaldo "⁠ableJ⁠" Moda Junior on the attacking side of Nuke gave FURIA the advantage after the pistol round. With 3-0 on the board, FURIA then executed on A, winning a clean 3vs3 afterplant situation to keep increasing their lead. A 2vs2 retake by Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken and Nick "⁠nitr0⁠" Cannella got Liquid at the board, who were then able to convert a 5vs3 in a three-kill round by Jonathan "⁠EliGE⁠" Jablonowski. With 4-4 on the board, EliGE won a 1vs2 to get the North American side in the lead for the first time. Once again, EliGE had a huge round with a 1vs4 clutch to make it 7-4. Another triple in the last round of the half by EliGE put him at 21 kills in his team’s 10-5 half.

FURIA then won the second pistol round and the first gun round of the second half with Andrei "⁠arT⁠" Piovezan knifing down several players. The two teams then traded rounds with upgraded pistols against full buys. Liquid then got three in a row, making it 14-10, but a double by arT and triple by ableJ got FURIA back into it. They were able to bring it within one, 13-14, but Liquid finally closed it out as EliGE tallied one more clutch win in a 1vs1 before his side made it 16-13 the following round.

EliGE had a stellar performance on Nuke

Liquid won the first pistol round on the attack on Overpass, following it up for a 4-0 lead. Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip and EliGE then won a 2vs3 afterplant to keep Liquid ahead as the North Americans. Down 0-6, a triple by Vinicius "⁠VINI⁠" Figueiredo helped FURIA get on the board, but a 1vs2 clutch by nitr0 on the following round kept Liquid solidly in the lead. The half continued being a one-sided affair as Liquid closed it out 14-1. A triple by nitr0 in a 3vs5 gave his side the second pistol round. FURIA won the forcebuy on the second round with a triple by Kaike "⁠KSCERATO⁠" Cerato, and then won two more, but ultimately gave it up against pistols as Liquid closed it out, 16-4.
