None of the 6 matches produced upset as the team's favourite to go through was able to either stay alive or make it to the next stage. Gamer Legion, having performed well in this tournament fell at the face of home favourites FURIA. 16-9 and 16-11 on Vertigo and Inferno respectively saw the Brazilians go through to the next stage.

Cloud9 was the heavy favourite to go through against EG and the results attest to the assumptions. The Russians were able to steamroll the American side who bombed out of the tournament at a very early stage.

The most exciting match of the day was undeniably between Fnatic and Outsiders. Before the match, it was difficult to predict the result but the latter was able to push it over the edge in the second map after a rather one-sided first map.

IHC, Evil Geniuses and Grayhound were the teams who failed to make it to the next stage and joined Imperial and 00NATION who made an early exit on Day 2.
