Today’s game day at Red Bull Home Ground #5 turned out to be both unexpected and eventful. One of the favorites withdrew from the tournament, the first finalist was determined, and several other intriguing moments took place.
Before the start of the game day, the tournament's main favorite, Team Heretics, withdrew due to player health issues. This allowed FUT Esports to automatically advance to the semifinals, where they will face T1 tomorrow in a best-of-three match for the final spot in the grand final. There, Cloud9 is already waiting for their opponent.
The first finalist of the tournament is Cloud9, who confidently defeated G2 Esports in the semifinals with a 2:0 map score. G2 Esports managed to win only nine rounds across two maps, despite being considered favorites in this match. The team’s tournament run ended today, along with Fnatic and Team Heretics. Cloud9’s next opponent will be the winner of the T1 vs. FUT Esports matchup.
Red Bull Home Ground #5 is one of the largest offseason tournaments. The event is taking place offline in Berlin, where eight teams from various leagues and regions are competing for the championship title and a significant prize pool, the exact amount of which has yet to be disclosed.
