It is a rough day to be an Oceania fan – Pentanet GG was the only team to play twice on opening day and have dropped both games.  Considering that this tournament is a best of one double round-robin, this severely hinders the OCE representatives from making it to the Rumble stage.

Arguably the most hyped matchup of the day, C9 vs DK was more lackluster than fans may have hoped.  C9 never had a great advantage to run with while Damwon kept Blaber at bay from minute one.  DK are the reigning world champions so this result was not wholly unexpected.

The closest game of the day would be the fastPay Wildcats vs paiN Gaming, clocking in just over 38 minutes.  Both teams were neck in neck when it came to gold and in the end, Brazil edged out Turkey ever so slightly. We’ll have to wait and see what Day 2 has in store.
