LA Thieves' Road to Glory
The Thieves kicked off their run with a 3-1 victory over OpTic Texas, outmaneuvering the green wall with clinical execution. OpTic showed sparks of brilliance, but Thieves were too locked in to let anything slip.
Next, LA Thieves faced Miami Heretics, who had been looking solid until this point. However, LA came out firing on all cylinders and shut them down in a 3-0 sweep.
