The fourth iteration of the 99Damage Masters brought $30,000 in prize money total to the table and featured eight teams dueling in a double elimination group stage.

In the end it was DenDD, ALTERNATE aTTaX, SK Gaming, and dignitas who advanced out of the groups, with the latter two teams topping the groups and therefore meeting in the Upper Bracket final, which SK won 2-1.

Following dignitas' dispatching of ALTERNATE in the consolidation final, the Danish-Norwegian team rose up to challenge the Danish-Swedish SK in a grand final showdown and at first seemed ready to carry the series away with a 16-12 victory on de_mirage powered by a successful T-side.

Michael "⁠Friis⁠" Jørgensen and his teammates rallied on de_cache with an easy 16-5 win on the second map and played strong defense on de_dust2 to win that map 16-12 and pocket the first place check of $15,000 in the league.
