For context, Xross is the initiator for the Korean org and was playing Fade in Corrode. He and Dambi were playing in the A Link, and PRX was attacking the A site.

While everyone was expecting PRX something to secure the opening pick, Xross stunned everyone by instantly landing headshots on something and invy. He then turned towards A main and killed both f0rsaken and d4v41 to secure his 4k. Surprisingly, the fourth kill was a one-tap, and that's what excited everyone. RedForce ended the match with a close 13-11 victory. Post that, it was a cakewalk for them, and they secured 13-4 and 13-3 victories on the second and third maps. The dark horse team finally lifted the Masters Santiago trophy by beating PRX.
