MATCH RESULT

On April 5, 2026, the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs delivered a dominant performance in the RLCS OC Paris Major: Open 5, defeating nerve 4-1 in a best-of-seven series. From the outset, the Bulldogs asserted control, securing the first two games with confident rotations and precise offensive pressure.

The 4-1 final score reflects the Bulldogs' superior teamwork and individual skill throughout the series, leaving no doubt about their current form.

KEY MOMENT AND PLAYER OF THE MATCH

The turning point seemed to arrive swiftly after nerve's lone victory. Bulldogs' star player, Jax 'Ace' Miller, was an absolute force, consistently shutting down nerve's offensive pushes with incredible saves and initiating devastating counter-attacks.

'Ace' demonstrated a masterclass in both offensive flair and defensive solidity, contributing significantly to key goals and crucial defensive plays that stifled any attempts at a comeback. For his instrumental role across the series, Jax 'Ace' Miller is deservingly named the Player of the Match.
