- FTD.A 0:2 DK.S – DK.S were able to outplay FTD.A in both games, securing both wins with ease.
- NewBee.Young 1:1 Fantuan –: Team Fantuan managed to secure the first victory. However, Newbee.Young tied up the series on the back of a superb Queen of Pain and a strong Juggernaut.
- DK.S 0:2 Newbee.Young – Newbee.Young dominated the first game with a flawless performance by Song “Sccc” Chun on Invoker and a strong Gyrocopter. DK.S chose the Invoker for the second game, but it did not work out for them, since once again Sccc had a dominating performance and Newbee.Young’s Luna was well farmed. The game was over in 26 minutes, with a 23K gold lead for Newbee.Young.
- IG 1:1 FTD.A – Invictus Gaming grabbed the first win, thanks to Luo “Ferrari_430” Feichi playing Alchemist on mid. The second game did not go in their favor despite the fact they drafted the same hero for Ferrari_430 again. FTD’s lineup was too much for IG to handle this time around.
- Fatuan 1:1 DK.S – DK.S had the advantage for almost the entire first game, with a flawless performance on their Clinkz and Spirit Breaker. The game was over in less than 30 minutes. The second match was a stark contrast to the first one. Bu “YaphetS” Yanjun’s incredible Ember Spirit helped to secure Fatuan’s win easily.
- NewBee.Youth 0:2 IG – Invictus Gaming swept through Newbee.Young, claiming both victories.
Frankfurt Dota Major Chinese Qualifiers standings, day 1, Group B

- CDEC.Youth 1:1 FTD.B – CDEC.Youth were able to take the first game. CDEC.Youth drafted a Phantom Lancer in the second game, but their push strategy was not enough to deal with FTD’s fight power.
- FTD.B 0:2 Wings – In the first game, Wings Gaming took the lead early on. Although they seemed to lose it as mid game was underway, after a grueling 49 minutes, they were able to grab the victory. In the second game, Wings managed to counter Sss’ incredible game Anti-Mage who was leading the networth chart. Wings kept their advantage and slowly closed in on the victory.
