Qualification Matches (2–0 teams)
Spirit — 2:0 Natus Vincere (bo3)

FURIA — 2:0 Virtus.pro (bo3)

Mid-Bracket Matches (1–1 teams)
The MongolZ 13–7 Lynn Vision (Nuke)
In a purely Asian showdown, The MongolZ outplayed Lynn Vision with strong CT-side setups and coordinated mid-round calls. The Chinese squad held on early but couldn’t withstand MongolZ’s pace in the closing rounds.
Aurora 4–13 G2 (Inferno)
