It was a battle between Gizmo, Xplicit, 1stVN, Space Monkeys, Flash.E-Sports and Pacific Emaxx that concluded the GEST DotA 2 Rising Star Qualifier. After their recent lost in the Alienware Game Victorious Tournament, their victory in this qualifier was considered as a comeback for the team.

Flash E-Sports fell into the Loser’s Bracket when Gizmo defeated them. The semi final was intense as Flash drew some payback and defeated Gizmo. In the grand finals it was a battle between Flash and Space Monkey. It was a shocker as Flash E-Sports defeated Space Monkey in an exciting 2-0 series. Now the rising team officially joins the GEST DotA 2 pit. They will be competing together with the other teams for the whopping $15,000.
