The first day of the Grand Finals in Warsaw was an unforgettable experience for both spectators on the live streams and by the stage. Thousands of you felt the thrills of the day and got into the competitive spirit during the hard-fought matches of both groups.
The members of the groups playing today were:
Group A | Group B |
---|---|
Synergy (EU) |
NOA |
WUSA (EU – Wildcard) |
U Are Dead |
S.I.M.P. |
Red Rush Unity |
Lemming Train |
Energy Pacemaker* |
*The teams in this table were put into their groups based on a random draw which took place last week. In the video you will see the JL E-SPORTS CLUB being raffled to the 2nd group, but as the team actually scored 1st place in the Chinese server scoreboard, we replaced the team with the team Energy Pacemaker.
From these eight teams, only two had the chance to make it through to the second day. They fought long and hard, battling through the entire day from noon till dusk (and even a bit longer than that).
After the drawing ceremony, many players considered the first group to be the harder of the two to get through but it was certainly a challenge for every single team in the group stage regardless of which group they were placed in. As the day came to an end, we knew which of the two teams stood tall as victors of the day. They now face the possibility of two more long days of battle ahead.
Congratulations to:
Group A Winner | Group B Winner |
