Invictus Gaming defeated their less experienced rivals 2:0. In the confrontation between PSG.LGD and Dandelion Esports Club, events developed much more interesting. First, the newcomers managed to take the card from the mastodons of the Dota 2 scene, winning in 44 minutes with a combination of Spectra and Mars. The Dandelion players were clearly on their toes after a successful start to the season. However, on the 2nd and 3rd maps the difference in class began to speak for itself. Despite the equal start of the 2nd map, PSG.LGD managed to turn the tide of the match in their favor. The 3rd map went completely under the complete dominance of The International vice-champions.
