As you can notice that the difference in points wasn’t huge. It can’t be said that Team Liquid dominated all the games but they had the upper hand in most of them and their kills in the 3rd and 4th round provided them with the extra help they needed to finish at the first place. Fans were rooting for TSM as they were on a streak of winning tournaments. Team Liquid paced up the leaderboard from the last tournament from the 7th place to 1st.

Meta:

In terms of the most frequently opted Legends: Wattson and Wraith mark the top spot with almost all teams having both of them. The third legend varied between teams with the most common picks being Pathfinder and Gibraltar. Similar to the 2nd tournament and overall competitive scenario the gun meta remained consistent with R-99 as the primary weapon and Wingman or Peacekeeper as the secondary weapon of choice; nonetheless, some players were seen using the G7 Scout, Flatline and EVA-8 equipped by players.

The 4th tournament will be taking place between the 18th – 20th of April.
