Gen.G were unable to repeat their upset win over OG from the opening match of Flashpoint 2 group C, with the consolidation match of the group going OG's way in convincing fashion.

Train was a closer affair scoreline-wise, 16-9, but OG never looked threatened, posting a near-perfect CT side, 13-2. When asked about the difference between the two games, OG captain Aleksib said that "not much changed",
