Yi-Jing survive the third map, book the upper final win

Three maps. It came down to three. Yi-Jing took the upper final 2-1 against Finishers at the Grassroots Esports 2026 Regional Finals.

The decider

Finishers had a hand in this series. A 2-1 result does not happen without a fight, and they forced Yi-Jing to a third map to settle it. That third map is where the bracket turned. Yi-Jing closed it.

What it means

Upper final, won. Yi-Jing move on with the advantage that comes from never dropping into the lower bracket. Finishers do not exit here. They drop down, with a path still open. The two of them may not be done with each other yet.

For now, the win belongs to Yi-Jing. On this evidence, they hold the high ground in this playoff run.
