Thai team Lucid Dream won the DreamHack Masters Dallas Asia qualifier over the likes of MVP PK, Absolute, and Beyond to secure the final slot at the $250,000 event.

With the Chinese qualifier being separate and the IEM Sydney qualifier taking place at the same time, MVP PK, ranked #37 at the moment, was the favorite to win the DreamHack Masters Dallas Asia qualifier and secure a slot at the final tournament.

However, the Korean side suffered a shocking defeat to Lucid Dream in the semi-final, losing Mirage 16-10 after an abysmal three-round CT side, before Lucid Dream ended the series on Nuke, 16-5.

On the other side of the bracket, Absolute was eliminated by Indonesian side BOOM—featuring Kevin "⁠xccurate⁠" Susanto's younger brother Jason "⁠f0rsakeN⁠" Susanto—, with BOOM then defeated in the semi-final by Beyond.

With an all-Thai grand final between Beyond and Lucid Dream set up, the action started on Dust2, Beyond's map pick. They took the early lead, 6-2, and ended the half strong, 10-5 as Terrorists. After switching to the CT side, they won the pistol and the two followups, and it seemed like Beyond had the first map wrapped up. However, Kitikawin "⁠PTC⁠" Rattanasukol's inspired performance brought Lucid Dream back from the dead and saw them win 11 consecutive rounds to claim Dust2 16-13.

Lucid Dream then brought over that momentum into the second map, Nuke, controlling the game start to finish. Thotsaphon "⁠cbbk⁠" Suphatthanaphalaphon was leading in the fragging department as they secured a 10-5 T-side lead, which they converted on confidently on the defense to claim a 16-6 map win and a spot at DreamHack Masters Dallas.
