After an upset loss by G2 to TL, Group A became just a little more open. With Suning (“SN”) and Machi (“MCX”) both on 1-1 records having beaten TL thus far, their head-to-head series would see them break away from the pack. Suning will be looking to maintain momentum from their victory against TL. Meanwhile, MCX wanted to cause yet another upset as they look to make a surprise appearance at the Knockout stage. MCX got off to the dream start as they made a play top side and picked up an important kill onto Gemini. While MCX took a strong early lead, SN came back fighting and by the 10th minute had brought the gold lead back to evens.
