Toronto came alive in the third round, a heated match of Domination. Although Minnesota held the lead for the first minute, the Ultra played up their defense and started to turn things around, despite a neck and neck battle. Minnesota secured points A and B on the map in seemingly record time, fighting their way through Toronto’s newfound defense. In the end, Minnesota took the win, as well as the lead, making it a 2 – 1 match.

The fourth round of the match was another round of Hardpoint, with Minnesota soaring out of the gate with multikills galore. The Azhir Cave may not be an official favorite map for the Rokkr, but they continue to perform admirably every time they play there. Silly racked up more than seventeen kills in the first two minutes of the match, breaking the Toronto Ultra’s attempts at defense with over a hundred point lead.
DEFENDING HOME.
