The MDL Chengdu Major champions looked lost and dismal and will now need to win against Team Aster in hopes of an upper bracket seed.
Na'vi overpowered Evil Geniuses 2:1, surprising fans in both NA and CIS. Despite an Abed Meepo in the deciding game, EG were not able to secure a win Na'Vi swiping the lead from them 33 minutes in and charging to the victory.
beastcoast, Alliance and Fnatic all swept through their opponents with a clean 2:0 victory to start the event out with a bang.
