The results are in for the RGN Pro Series North American division and for the most part, favoured teams are advancing to the playoffs of the $10,000 league.

Group D was perhaps the biggest surprise of the Pro Series, with Spencer "⁠Hiko⁠" Martin and the rest of Nihilum falling in their group, which required an extra tiebreaker stage in the end. In particular, SKDC were the dark horse of the group and managed to defeat both Nihilum and Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo's Keyd Stars.

Keyd Stars made it the playoffs by the skin of their teeth
