Evil Geniuses

Evil Geniuses appear to have seamlessly carried forward their impressive performance from Masters Tokyo into this event. Pitted against FunPlus Phoenix in their opening match, the North American team showed incredible performance, securing a convincing 2-0 triumph. Demon1 and Jawgemo continued their spectacular display of fragging prowess while the remaining team members executed their roles with precision.

FUT Esports

FUT Esports kicked off the event with a resounding victory, blowing T1 off the server with a 2-0 series win, dropping only 11 rounds across two maps. The team displayed a perfect all-round performance, with every member stepping up in their respective role. Nevertheless, their true test lies ahead in the winner's match against EG. Winning in this encounter would not only secure their position in the playoffs but also provide a redemptive closure for their Masters Tokyo defeat.
