As mentioned above, Trace was the favorite in the match because the team had already earned three wins at the event and secured a spot in the playoffs. This may have been the key factor in the team's loss. On the first map, Sunset, TEC won a difficult victory with a score of 13:9. Things went better on Haven, where the team won with a score of 13:7.

As a result of the match, Trace Esports still advances to the VCT 2025: China Stage 2 playoffs. Despite the victory, Titan Esports Club has an overall match score of 1:4, which means it has lost the opportunity to advance to the next round.
