Claunch finished the regular season in second place, earning him a spot in the playoffs. He played three matches in the semi-finals, finishing second, second and third. That earned him a spot in the 8-person final.

Claunch had a slow start in the finals and would have been in check after game five, but the winner was crowned with a first in the fifth game. Â
