MOUZ vs Aurora
In a match where Aurora were expected to give a tough fight, with MOUZ playing on a new roster, the Russian squad pushed the first map close before MOUZ edged it out by the skin of their teeth to take an early lead. Following a tight first map, MOUZ managed to ease past Aurora on the next map, resulting in a gritty yet decisive win.
Spirit vs G2
With no clear favourites coming into the game, given the poor run of form from both sides, G2 failed to bring their best, leading to Spirit speedrunning over G2 in back-to-back maps. G2 never got going, leading Spirit to have a field day with donk leading the charts as they book their semi-finals spot with little effort.
Magic vs 9Z
Despite 9Z having a dominant start, Magic stunned them to take away the first map. 9Z responded in the second with a stunning performance with a 13-2 win to level the scoreline. The best map came in the final game of the series, where both teams fought neck and neck, only for Magic to come out as the unexpected victor.
Falcons vs FURIA
In what could only be described as one of the best matches of the season, both teams losing out on their own map pick ensured the final map was what decided who would go through. The final map encompassed stellar moments as it took 3 overtimes for the Falcons to edge out the battle of resilience.
