Their victories over Luminosity Gaming, CLG, and Ghost Gaming put SK in second place.

SK and Team Liquid are tied for second place behind C9 with 8-2 records. SK fell to Team Liquid 2-0 during their matches last week because they were attending EPICENTER 2017 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Despite the evident fatigue from the Brazilians during the group stage, they were still able to continue their dominance throughout the event and beat Virtus Pro in the grand finals 3-2.

As for the remaining teams in ECS, the standings behind Cloud9, SK, and Liquid are as follows: Luminosity, NRG Esports, CLG, OpTic Gaming, Ghost, Immortals, and Renegades.

ECS matches on the American side of the pond will continue tomorrow, when SK hopes to retake their first place spot in the league over C9.
