The first match was between Karmine Corp and FPX, both sides put up a fight. We got to see Lotus on an international stage for the first time. We also saw Nivera’s superior AWPing ability which put KC over FPX. FPX put up a fight and gave us unforgettable moments as well, props to them.
The second match was an emotional one between BBL esports vs. DRX. BBL esports got completely dominated by DRX on the first map but made an unexpected comeback on the second map. However, DRX were the ones who took the victory and sent BBL home as they destroyed BBL on Pearl with a scoreline of 13-7. DRX move on to the round of 16 and they will face C9 which is sure to be an epic battle.
Going into the match, everyone expected Paper Rex to win 2-0. C9 showed up and demolished PRX on both maps. We saw yay on Chamber and Sage which was unexpected while Xeppa put in some heroics. Paper Rex struggled to take space despite Jingg and Forsaken’s efforts. Due to the format, the losing teams have to go home.
