The day started off with the red hot UNILAD Esports sweeping Mindfreak 3-0 in what was a very one-sided matchup.
CompLexity Gaming one-upped that performance with their own sweep against Luminosity Gaming to improve to 6-6 and keep their Playoff hopes alive.
LG’s loss put them at 5-6, a whole two games out of the fourth and final postseason spot, and the loss also meant that UNILAD would become the first Division A team to clinch a Playoff berth.
UNILAD would play twice in Day One as they faced Tainted Minds, the other Australian team in Division B. The result was the same however, as another 3-0 sweep capped off a dominant day for the Europeans.
EUnited took care of Mindfreak 3-1 to improve to 7-4 and strengthen their grip on a possible Playoff spot, while the Australians fell to 2-10.
The day wrapped up with a highly anticipated matchup between Rise Nation and OpTic Gaming, both of whom came in at 8-3. With a Playoff berth on the line, OpTic took care of business 3-1 to take over the top spot in Division B.
