    Elsewhere, KT Rolster joined CFO on 2–0 after a hard-fought 14–11 victory over Team Secret Whales, while Hanwha Life Esports (HLE) recovered from an early scare to beat PSG Talon, powered by a quadra kill from Zeka, moving to 1–1.

    Europe’s G2 Esports bounced back with a 28-minute, 20–7 rout of MKOI, while FlyQuest crushed Vivo Keyd Stars 26–5, led by Quad (9/0/9 Viktor) and Inspired (10/2/12 Wukong). Both teams now sit 1–1.

    On the other end, Fnatic dropped to 0–2 after being outclassed by Bilibili Gaming (BLG), who dominated 16–6 in 28 minutes. MKOI and Vivo Keyd also fell to 0–2, facing possible elimination.

    Despite 100 Thieves’ earlier heroics over BLG, the North Americans were overwhelmed by Top Esports, losing 9–24 in 26 minutes. Top Esports mid-laner Creme shone with a 9/0/11 Ryze, keeping his side perfect at 2–0.
