Melbourne ORDER have successfully defended their Australian Gfinity title by defeating Sydney Chiefs in the grand final, 3-1.

The second edition of Gfinity's Australian Elite Series took place at the HOYTS Entertainment Quarter in Sydney, Australia with six-city franchised teams fighting for a share of the $80,000 AUD (~$60,000) prize pool during the past seven weeks.

Brisbane Deceptors and Azad "⁠topguN⁠" Orami's Sydney Roar were the first two sides to fall in the best-of-one league play. Both Melbourne representatives ORDER and AVANT progressed to the single-elimination playoffs, alongside Perth Ground Zero and Sydney Chiefs.

In the semis, ORDER came out on top in the local Melbourne derby against AVANT with a 2-0 victory, while Sydney Chiefs edged past Callum "⁠BURNRUOk⁠" Henderson's Perth Ground Zero in a three-map series last week.

Once again, the best-of-five grand final featured the previous season's finalists with Melbourne ORDER and Sydney Chiefs clashing for the title decider.

It was "business as usual" for Chris "⁠emagine⁠" Rowlands' men as they secured the first two maps with ease, before Mohammed "⁠MoeycQ⁠" Tizani's side was able to bounce back with a 16-13 win on Mirage.

Melbourne ORDER went on to win the event for the second time in a row after securing Train, 16-5, taking home the Season 2 trophy and the first-place prize cheque.
