In the group stage, we had the first upset ofthe tournament as Cloud9 did not make it tothe playoff bracket, losing both of their match-ups. In group A,EnVyUs, the favourites to win this tournament, had absolutely noproblem advancing to the playoffs. Misfits triedtheir best, but was knocked out by Fnatic.

The biggest upset in the tournament came on the brackets whereEnVyUs lost in a close 3-2 Bo5 series against Rogue, whereasREUNITED won over Fnatic 3-1, forming thegrand final match of REUNITED vs Rogue. After some closegames, Rogue managed to emerge victorious with a score of 3-1.
