| Game | Results | Match info |
| Dignitas vs Na`Vi | Na`Vi won 2-0 | Dignitas boldly picked Zeus and ran Alchemist versus OD in game one but was punished heavily for it. The line-up did not have proven synergy and OD just went rampant on Alchemist, denying 40 creeps in 10 minutes. In the second game, Na`Vi gathered the momentum from that game and took it into game two where they took the win against Dignitas' push strat. |
| DK vs Fnatic | DK won 2-0 | Fnatic's ran their usual offensive trilane in game one but that turned sour in a hurry as they dropped two heroes in less than a minute in. From there on, Burning had all the space in the world to farm and he carried his team to game one win. DK then switched it up in game two, opting for an all-or-nothing push line-up and took down all of Fnatic's outer towers by 25 minutes. Fnatic defended their barracks for a bit but ultimately crumbled from the pressure. |
| Mouz vs MUFC | Mouz won 2-0 | MUFC secured themselves an early game by obtaining sufficient farm on the Tinker and taking down a few towers. However, they did not stop Black's Spectre from farming and before they realized, Black has gotten pretty big. Coupled with FATA's Puck, Mouz stormed mid-game to take game one. Game two resembled DK's 4-protect-1 strategy. Black successfully farmed with the rest of his teammates trading kills and ended the game in ease. |
| LGD vs Zenith | LGD won 2-0 | Game one, both teams drafted heavy AoE line-up and the game boiled down to Black King Bar purchase. Zenith had the upperhand early on but they could not keep their lead with their magic damage becoming useless despite amazing play by Yamateh on the Sand King. Zenith went Ursa and Io in game two but their poor laning choice allowed LGD's core heroes to farm up. Zenith was punished heavily in mid-game. |
