- Orangutan’s Podium Charge: Orangutan delivered an aggressive Day 3 masterclass, racking up heavy placement finishes on Miramar and Erangel to surge into 3rd place with 187 points, missing 2nd place by a razor-thin two-point margin.
- Nebula’s Composure Under Pressure: Despite surviving multiple targeted pinches, Nebula methodically stacked finish points. Crossing the 204-point threshold late in the evening, they capped off their tournament run with 210 points to secure the title outright.
