Game results

Game 1 - Xtreme Gaming win in 29 minutes

XG took Game 1 in 29 minutes - Ame's high-mobility carry system asserting the mid-game tempo control that had defined their Day 1 win over NaVi. Their 56.07% overall 2026 win rate appeared to be translating directly into the opening game before SA Rejects adjusted their approach for Games 2 and 3.

Game 2 - SA Rejects win in 44 minutes

SA Rejects levelled the series in 44 minutes - their extended game system coming into its own as the match duration exceeded XG's optimal power spike window. Their willingness to extend games - confirmed by their 4-buyback Roshan commitment against Aurora on Day 1 - gave them the late-game resilience that XG's mid-game accelerated system struggled to overcome once the gold advantages from the early game had been neutralised.

Game 3 - SA Rejects win in 42 minutes

Game 3 was decided by DarkMago's signature Kunkka. His 11/0/6 KDA and 22,800 net worth reflected a player whose 0-death Kunkka performance completely shut down XG's mid-game structure - Ghostship and Tidebringer timing creating the kill opportunities that forced XG into a failed high-ground defence before their buyback resources could sustain a competitive resistance. XG called GG after the high-ground defence failed - SA Rejects completing the biggest upset of PGL Wallachia Season 8 Day 3.

Standout performances

DarkMago posted an 11/0/6 KDA and 22,800 net worth on Kunkka in Game 3 - the most individually dominant 0-death performance of the series decider. His signature hero mastery gave SA Rejects the individual carry foundation that XG's draft had no specific prepared answer for.
