Splyce have booked the final spot at ROG Masters 2017 after topping the Americas finals with a 3-2 victory over Ghost Gaming in the final.

Held at the Esports Arena, in Santa Ana, the ROG Masters Americas Finals featured four teams - three invited and one qualified -, who competed in a single-elimination bracket for the chance to represent the region at the $250,000 event, in Malaysia.

In the semi-finals, Splyce breezed past subtLe, while Ghost, who have brought coach Phong "⁠bee⁠" Nguyen back to the starting roster, replacing Dallas "⁠Dallas⁠" Micks, edged out Rogue on three maps.

The grand final was a keenly-contested affair from the start. Ghost twice had in the lead in the series, after winning Cobblestone and Train, but they could not put the match to bed as David "⁠DAVEY⁠" Stafford racked up 32 kills on Nuke to inspire Splyce to tie up the series at 2-2 before they won the final map, Mirage, with a great all-round performance.
