MOUZ-Nixuh
Group A's opening match took place on the Mirage map.

At the same time, Nixuh had enough for two winning rounds in defense, thereby delighting his fans. However, after the change of sides, MOUZ did not mock the opponent, having scored a confident victory at the start of the tournament — 16:2.
Movistar Riders
The second confrontation of the quartet took place on the Overpass map.

After the change of sides, the Turkish team still tried to return to the game. Nevertheless, Movistar Riders managed to take advantage of the opponent's mistakes in order to realize the advantage and get the first victory in several months - 16:9.
