RGU continued to dominate the first map winning point two in demanding fashion claiming the 1-0 lead in the series. 

Map two was played on Midtown in the game mode of hybrid. The Beavers were able to get all three points to open the map before only allowing URG two to claim victory on map two which evened the series at one.
