Despite a still-incomplete roster, Melee Creeps beat FPS Lounge once again and win the Night Shift.

Following the European edition of Night Shift 46 won by Buff Enjoyers against Abrahams (2-1), the competitive Deadlock scene shifted back to North America for the second leg of the tournament. Once again, the matches did not disappoint, particularly the final, which set new records for match duration.

FPS Lounge had kicked off their campaign perfectly, securing an easy victory over Get Candy, a team that had qualified earlier that evening by defeating Work In Progress. It was a true trial by fire for this relatively inexperienced squad, who benefited from the absence of Birds With Clock, a team currently undergoing a roster overhaul.

While the skill gap between the two teams wasn't massive, the disparity in macro-level play was so significant that the match quickly became unwinnable for Get Candy across the board.

A rematch between Melee Creeps and FPS Lounge ensued, resulting in another record-breakingly long final, with two of the three matches exceeding the 45-minute mark.

Melee Creeps also faced an uphill battle due to an incomplete roster and the absence of Dew, which required League to step in as a substitute.

Melee Creeps drew first blood by winning a hard-fought opening match. The lead swung back and forth for over forty minutes before a final mid boss objective ultimately allowed Melee Creeps to clinch the win. Unlike the European final, Pocket was fully utilized this time largely thanks to the outstanding performances of Lefaa and Eidorian, who played a pivotal role in their team's success.

FPS Lounge managed to level the series by winning the second match, but Melee Creeps reclaimed the lead for good in a fiercely contested third game, securing yet another title.

With this latest victory, Melee Creeps claims its 27th Night Shift title, Jonjon secures his fifteenth RNG MVP, while Saiah picks up his third RNG EVP.
