After five weeks of grueling qualifiers, the duos that managed to qualify for the World Cup Finals gathered at the iconic Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City to battle out for a share of the $15 million prize pool.
Aqua and Nyhrox finished on top with 51 points, followed by Lazarus Esports' Rojo and Wolfiez in second place with 47 points, and the top-three was rounded off by 100 Thieves' Elevate and Ceice, who finished with 45 points.
