- coL 1:1 HCWP – The first game was a long, back and forth battle between the two teams. At minute 50, compLexity were wiped out and HCWP managed to push the lead in their favor. The second game was much more one-sided and ended in only 19 minutes, with compLexity taking the victory easily this time.
- EWolves 1:1 VB – EWolves destroyed Void Boys in the first game, with a score of 12:1, in only 20 minutes. The second game started a bit more even between the teams, but Void Boys managed to take the lead after the laning phase and push towards the win with ease.
- C9 1:1 coL –: The first game was an hour-long, intense battle, with lots of back and forth leads and action. In the end, compLexity managed to secure the win. The second game favored Cloud 9, as they drafted heroes such as Ember and Lycan. Unable to manage the split push, compLexity gave the win to C9.
- HCWP 0:2 EWolves – EWolves managed to outplay HCWP and execute all their strategies very well in both matches. The Peruvians played both games in the series with a high amount of synergy and coordination.
- VB 0:2 HCWP – Void Boys were able to take the lead early on in the first game, but the action was quickly evened out after the laning phase, and HCWP pushed ahead. Again, in the second game, Void Boys secured the early lead, but an amazing game for Justin “justin” Rosselle on Shadow Fiend for HCWP was enough to give them the power they needed to seize the win.
- EWolves 2:0 C9 – The first game started fairly even, but then quickly led to Cloud 9’s advantage. After a team fight about 30 minutes into the game, EWolves took the lead for a few moments only to give it back to Cloud 9. After a great team fight, EWolves retook the lead and carried it through to victory. The second game appeared to be very similar, with Cloud 9 having the lead and appearing to be in control. EWolves have been showing great synergy and coordination through the event and managed to pull the game back in their favor for another victory.
