The second map was Clubhouse, Team BDS' pick, and one of the weakest in our map pool. The map ended with a quick 1-7 defeat as we only managed to win one round on the attacking side.

Theme Park was the third and final map and started off with a dominating performance from us as we won the first half as defenders 5-1.
