First up we have the Cloud9 vs Rebels matchup. It seemed that everything should be easy here for the American organization, however, let's take a look at the result. Team Rebels defeated their opponents on Mirage with a score of 13:10.

Next on our review is the confrontation of Heroic vs Astralis. Last season there were some unpleasant events between these teams, but it is worth to miss it and just look at the result. According to the results of the rink on Mirage Heroic defeated their opponents with a score of 13:11.

And now let's take a look at the ENCE vs BIG match. ENCE has recently assembled a new roster, and even though the guys there are pretty played among themselves, they still need time to adapt. But BIG spent the end of 2023 without replacements and in fact the match should have been very close.

And so it was. In an absolutely equal fight, BIG defeats ENCE at Ancient with a score of 13:9.

And at the end we left the juice, so to speak, the cherry on the cake. Let's not hesitate and say at once: Eternal Fire team destroyed their opponents from BetBoom on the map Nuke with the score 13:1. Unexpected? 100%.

And what's next?

All the losing teams went to the lower grid, where they are already waiting for their future opponents. The second chance grid looks as follows:

And this is how the top grid looks like. By the way, the winners of these matches qualify for the main stage of the championship.
