The second day of play at the RES Regional Champions has come to an end with fnatic and Sangal earning top spots in their groups and spots in the semi-finals, while Aurora and Solid have been ousted in last place.

Continuing to ramp up off the back of their several CCT wins, qualification for the Shanghai Major RMRs and a promising showing in ESL Pro League, Sangal headed into Group A as favorites and confirmed that status.

Yasin "⁠xfl0ud⁠" Koç and company escaped their opener against Nemiga by the skin of their teeth, but returned in terrifying form on day two with a blowout of Fluxo.

Later in the day, fnatic joined them after topping Group B with a 2-1 win over PARIVISION. Benjamin "⁠blameF⁠" Bremer's team got off to the series on the wrong foot as they let go off an 8-4 lead on the T side of Mirage, but then dominated Vertigo (with a 12-0 CT side) and Ancient with the Great Dane himself tallying up a terrifying 47-15 score over the two maps.
