The Tier One-backed squad did not let up in Game 2 with Danerie James "Wise" Del Rosario (Natalia) leading the way to a 4-0 kill lead by the first minute.

But NXPE showed their heart as they managed to extend the match until Blacklist displayed impressive strategic engage in the 17th minute lord fight, taking a 3-1 exchange to complete the sweep.
