Both Ascent and New God Flow have undergone roster blues with both teams essentially being completely new rosters. New God Flow had originally been unable to find that New God Form in the first week, with losses to both MyAnimeList and Team Invite. However, New God Flow's performance has rapidly improved in the following weeks, with dominant wins against the other low-mid Invite teams and a hard-fought loss to froyotech 3-4.

On the other end, Ascent have retain their dominance as a team akin to their last season lineup, decimating other Invite teams while still struggling to topple froyotech. Compared to New God Flow, Ascent performed worse when up against froyotech, however whether this is due to pure team skill or outside factors such as map choice is yet to be seen.

The fight for second has been long awaited for a long time and this matchup seems to be a preview of what's to come. Will the New God Flow be able to sip that Fiji or will Ascent swig that Evian to victory? Find out on Thursday night with eXtine and Marxist with Nicell on production showcasing the action!
