Kinguin kicked off the tournament with an upset, beating one of the consensus favourite teams to win the tournament, Dignitas, in a heavily-contested Mirage thriller. The Polish side lost multiple match-points across the overtimes, before finally closing out the game, 22-20.

Renegades also provided an upset by beating the vastly-improved North American side, Cloud9, and then went on to beat Gambit to take their record for the day to 2-0. Dreamhack Winter has been an even event so far, and promises to keep on delivering contested maps as the four teams who will play in the playoffs on Saturday will be decided in tomorrow’s games.
