Upper Division
The first set of matches was between Invictus Gaming and EHOME. The first game saw IG playing very aggressive, as they tried to push and end the game early. Although EHOME were not far behind, it was difficult for them to win team fights. IG won the first match 26-20 in just over 40 minutes. EHOME could not contain IG’s Axe in the second game. They had a tough time dealing with their Death Prophet and Morphling, too. IG were ahead in an ever-increasing net worth after the 15-minute mark and won the game 12-35.
PSG.LGD won 2-0 against Royal Never Give Up in the second set of games. Although RNG picked a great lineup in the first match, LGD were on top of their game.

RNG tried well to close in on LGD, but they were the better team. The second match had a slow and passive start which changed around the 20-minute mark. It was around the 27 to 30-minute mark that LGD took good advantage The Faceless Void pick had a solid contribution to their victory.
Vici Gaming were ahead in the early minutes of the first match against Sparking Arrow Gaming. The Timbersaw pick against SAG’s Phoenix and Tiny proved to be great. Unable to deal with the situation. SAG kept falling behind and lost 17-36 to Vici. The second match was even more disheartening for SAG as Vici stomped them with a score of 8-29. SAG were not allowed to farm with their Medusa as Vici conquered the map with their Chaos Knight and Lifestealer picks.
Highlight Series: Team Aster vs Elephant
Elephant pulled a decent lead against Team Aster in the early to mid-game against Team Aster. The picks of Death Prophet, Dragon Knight and Doom proved too good against Aster, who struggled to sustain team fights. With a significant gold advantage, Elephant won the first match.
Aster went for solid and reliable heroes like Troll Warlord, Mars and Doom in the second match. Although Elephant were not far behind, they could not control skirmishes happening around the map and important fights near the Roshan pit. Aster won the game 13-24 in just over 35 minutes.
The last match saw a similar draft from Aster, picking Troll, Mars and adding Abaddon to the lineup.
