After having to endure a very close battle with Cebu’s very own WattzKing in the previous edition of the tournament, Pacific.Macta decided to change gears and beat sister team Pacific.Wara in two quick maps in order to take their fifth Razer NeXT CrossFire Tournament title.

More than 80 teams from all over the country participated in this wave of the tournament, once again showcasing many of the country’s finest CrossFire teams from the North and the South.
