An estimated number of 350 players and spectators graced the event.

Your unit will be inserted two-clicks from the cartel’s heavily guarded fortress. You can take out enemy guards as spotted, however, avoiding contact with the enemies is recommended, but not required.

You must choose your targets carefully, as some possess valuable information that will be crucial in accomplishing your mission.

Teams OZ, Fenris GUNGNIR, Tactical Lab, and SWAK were the only teams to breach the fortress and proceed to the extraction point under the time limit of 15 minutes. Team SWAK put the heaviest pressure on all teams, by proving that the mission can be accomplished after several teams ahead of them all failed. The rest of the teams pushed harder as they can trying to beat Team SWAK, of which the top three teams eventually outpointed Team SWAK.
