The Manila Major SEA Qualifiers results are in after a long and eventful day in the group stage segment of the competition.

WG.Unity has taken the lead over both their own group and the region. After playing a whopping six matches, the most played for SEA, they dropped only one match and are in the lead with 5 points. The Malaysian team has only one more match scheduled for tomorrow, against Taring.

Rave has been unable to secure a single win so far but still have three more two-game series scheduled for tomorrow.

The matches resume on May 4th, at 04:00 CEST, and are expected to be intense, as the teams continue their quest towards the second stage of the qualifiers – the double elimination brackets.

TnC Gaming may have been forced to participate by taking the long road through the open qualifiers, but they have shown full strength in the opening day of the main qualifiers. The Filipino team tied for the first place spot with Signature.Trust – each losing only one match to each other. TnC swept through XctN, 2:0, while Signature.Trust wiped out Rave.

XctN were able to gain their two wins versus The Mongolz, to claim the second place position in the group.

Both Rave and The Mongolz had a difficult start to the event, unable to claim a single win. Rave’s struggles are surprising, considering they have reformed the team to most of what it was prior to TI5, when they had a strong and notable presence.

WarriorsGaming.Unity have taken their place to lead both Group B and the region. They swept through Acion Arena, 2:0, and Next-Gen esports, then took their only loss when they split the series with Mineski, 1:1.

Mineski‘s only loss was to WG.Unity. They swept through Orange Taring to take second place in the group. Mineski’s Alchemist pick seems to still be a key factor in their success with Benhur “Benhur” Lawis continuing to dominate with the hero.

Orange Taring swept through Next-Gen Gaming, 2:0, in their only series of the day.

Both Acion Arena and Next-Gen Gaming are tied for the last position with only one point. They each were able to seize one match off of each other, but dropped their other two matches against their opponents.
