All eyes were on Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken and Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo's troops after they suffered overtime losses in their opening games on day one, but both teams were revitalized upon returning to the server and secured commanding wins over BESTIA and BOSS to reach the 2-1 pool.

Keith "⁠NAF⁠" Markovic powered Liquid to a blowout 13-4 victory over BESTIA with utter domination on Anubis' B site, while Yuri "⁠yuurih⁠" Santos and Kaike "⁠KSCERATO⁠" Cerato's 2.51 and 2.24 ratings helped FURIA demolish BOSS on Vertigo, 13-1.

M80 capitalized on a timid defense from Legacy on Ancient to run away with a 13-5 victory, and paiN bagged the same scoreline against their countrymen from Imperial thanks to a 1.84-rated map from João "⁠snow⁠" Vinicius.
