The inaugural tournament was in 2017 with Continuum beating out eRA Eternity for the championship. By 2018, PENTA went against Evil Geniuses with a match that went the distance. PENTA eventually won that one 3-2. Last year it was all G2 Esports, who was undefeated during the Group Stage and lost only one game on the Playoffs against Spacestation.
