In the Upper Bracket Semifinals, PARIVISION overcame AVULUS with a close 2-1 win, then set the stage alight by beating one of the favorites, BetBoom Team, with a 2-1 reverse sweep.

In the lower bracket, Team Liquid went on a miracle run, shocking the crowd as they eliminated Shopify Rebellion 2-0 and reverse-swept Team Falcons, Team Spirit, and BetBoom Team in that order to make it to the ESL One Bangkok Grand Final.

With Team Liquid's incredible run and so many close calls, fans were convinced Liquid would win the entire event, and the Grand Final started brilliantly for them, as they won the first game.

PARIVISION, however, had other plans. The squad showed their big-match temperament, and with the legendary Volodymyr "None-" Minenko popping off, they won the next three games in a row to claim victory with a final score of 3-1.

Congratulations to PARIVISION for breaking Team Liquid in the grand finale of ESL One Bangkok 2024. PARIVISION wins $300,000 for their victory, while Team Liquid limps away with $175,000 in prize money.
