Continuum, whose side would be eventually picked up by Evil Geniuses, lifted the hammer after victories against Santos Dexterity and another North American squad, eRa Eternity. Meanwhile, Elevate lifted the hammer after defeating the three French rosters, Lucky7 Gaming, Supremacy, and Team Vitality.
Six Invitational 2018
The North American region was the second-most represented with four teams, only behind Europe’s six. Half of the rosters qualified for the playoffs as Rogue and Evil Geniuses finished as two of the best four teams, with the latter placing in second after a thrilling 2-3 defeat against PENTA Sports.
