Photo recap from ESL One day one

A total of 12 matches were played during the opening day of ESL's $250,000 major in Cologne, and even though most of them were pretty much one-sided, emotions were soaring in the tournament area.

Day two is expected to be packed with action as the teams will be battling for a place in the quarter-finals, while four sides will at the end of the day face an early elimination. 

Below you can find some of the photos that we took during the first day of the event:
