Day one of the Krakow Major Offline Qualifier has come to a close as the first round games of the Swiss Format are complete. In today’s matches, six teams went the distance in three overtime matches, while the remaining matches were tight races to match point—with the exception of one.
In both double-overtime thriller matches on Inferno, G2 Esports edged out Immortals 22-20 and Team Liquid knocked down TyLoo 22-19. The last overtime match of the day involved a comeback from FlipSid3 Tactics over Renegades with a score of 19-16.
Penta Sports narrowly defeated OpTic Gaming on Train 16-14, while GODSENT managed the same 16-14 scoreline against Team Dignitas on Overpass. A 4K from GODSENT’s Markus “pronax” Wallsten gave his team the advantage late in the Overpass game.
Cloud9 fought off BIG on Cobblestone 16-10, and HellRaisers tilted Vega Squadron with the same 16-10 score. Jake “Stewie2K” Yip and Tyler “Skadoodle” Latham both ended the day with one-versus-three and one-versus-four clutches under their belts, respectively.
The only game that wasn’t even remotely close was mousesports’ destruction of Tengri on Infenro, which ended at 16-1.
