FURIA 2-0 Legacy
The Brazilian derby was closer than the score suggests. FURIA raced to a 6-1 lead on Inferno, but Legacy fought back and led 8-7 after the second pistol round. yuurih and FalleN held the defence to close it out 13-10. It was a tough day for Legacy captain arT, who finished Inferno with 4 kills and 18 deaths.
Mirage was one-way traffic. FURIA built a 9-0 lead, with FalleN anchoring B and KSCERATO picking up multi-kills, and closed the map 13-7.
Vitality 2-0 Falcons
Vitality beat the reigning Major champions in two tight maps, 13-10 on Anubis and 13-10 on Dust II. The loss sent Falcons, with NiKo and m0NESY, into an elimination match against Legacy on day 2.
Spirit 2-1 FUT Esports
