First Stand 2025

An absolutely thrilling match took place between Hanwha Life Esports and Karmine Corp. HLE, the undisputed tournament favorites, continue their run without a single loss, while Karmine Corp, already holding two losses and one victory, fought hard despite their challenging position—even securing a win against the formidable Top Esports.

The entire match was filled with intense tension, with HLE refusing to give up the victory, while Karmine Corp proved they truly deserved their spot in the tournament. Probably the most epic moment of the tournament came on the second map. Both teams kept shifting the advantage back and forth, using every opportunity to attack. In the end, Karmine Corp secured the second map, leveling the score to 1-1, giving hope to their fans.

Unfortunately for KC fans, the complete comeback didn’t happen, and Hanwha Life Esports took the third map, securing the match with a 2:1 victory. As a result, HLE became the first team to advance to the Playoffs. Meanwhile, Karmine Corp now has to wait for tomorrow’s results, as their fate depends on whether they stay in the tournament or are eliminated, with a 1-3 match record.

March 14, the final day of the group stage, will determine the fate of the teams. Only the four strongest teams will advance to the playoffs, which will take place from March 15 to March 16, with the decisive matches played in a Bo5 format under the Fearless Draft mode.
