A total of $5,000 was distributed in prize money. TSM took home $4,000 while China Nguyen got $1,000. Everyone else got a participation token. All of the matches were Bo3 and there was no group stage. Instead, the event went right into the playoffs. TSM had a flawless run because they eliminated 303 Esports Orange in the first round. Pon Pon in the second and China Nguyen in the grand finals. All of the series ended with 2:0 for TSM.
