Natus Vincere vs Astralis

Many analysts agreed that Astralis should have been defeating NAVI, but NAVI managed to make a comeback on the first map, Nuke, from the attacking side, winning the map when they were trailing 9-4. It all started with a won force-buy round after losing the pistol round against Astralis. Natus Vincere found a way to outplay Astralis and demonstrated a confident attack. On the second map, the Danes had a decent start, leading 4-0 on the defensive side of Dust 2, but Natus Vincere rallied and won the map. NAVI won their opening match with a score of 2:0 against Astralis.

Virtus.pro vs Team Vitality

Vitality, the clear favorites of the match, faced problems due to a comeback on the second map, which created difficulties for them. On the decisive map, Anubis, they couldn't handle their opponent, and Virtus.pro outplayed them, winning the match with a score of 2:1.

Team Spirit vs G2 Esports

The match between Team Spirit and G2 turned out to be extremely interesting, especially considering that G2 played without their star player, m0NESY, who couldn't fly to the UK for the first game day due to visa issues. The team's coach, TaZ, had to play in his place, and surprisingly, they were on the verge of winning the match. They managed to outplay Team Spirit on the first map, Ancient, but couldn't impose serious competition in the subsequent maps. Team Spirit won the match with a score of 2:1.

• 1. Spirit removed Inferno
• 2. G2 removed Mirage
• 3. Spirit picked Ancient (G2 Esports 13:8 Team Spirit)
• 4. G2 picked Dust2 (Team Spirit 13:7 G2 Esports)
• 5. Spirit removed Nuke (Team Spirit 13:4 G2 Esports)
• 6. G2 removed Vertigo
