Full Tilt fulfilled their expectations as the 1st seed by knocking 4th seed happy farmers into the lower bracket without dropping a round, remaining in the upper bracket. Despite nameLess being the 3rd seed and LEGO the 2nd, nameLess took their set without dropping a round as well. In the upper bracket finals, they dominated against Full Tilt, not dropping a round in their path to the grand finals.
In the lower bracket, LEGO held on to their tournament life. First, they fended off the happy farmers in a fierce three-map set, clutching the tiebreaker, Reckoner. Then, they met Full Tilt in the lower bracket finals where they clutched yet another best-of-three series in an upset of many people's predictions.
Thus, LEGO found themselves in the best-of-5 grand finals against nameLess down a map due to coming from the lower bracket. Badlands came first in the series where a 1-1 tie led to a golden cap, where LEGO held their own and won. nameLess came back to their senses, however, and dominated their plastic brick opponents, taking Gullywash 5-0 and Granary 3-1. As a result, nameLess sealed the deal on the best-of-5 series 3-1, making their mark as Season 24 Premiership champions.
