EMEA Masters Winter 2025: Day 1 Results

The first day of the new winter split of EMEA Masters Winter 2025 has come to an end, and we already have the first winners and losers. The 16 best teams in Europe were divided into four groups. The group stage follows the GSL Group Stage format, and all matches are played in Fearless Draft mode in a best-of-three (Bo3) format.

Group A:

• SuperMassive 2:0 Zero Tenacity
• Geekay Esports 2:0 Barça eSports

Thus, SuperMassive and Geekay Esports advance through the upper bracket of the tournament. Meanwhile, Zero Tenacity and Barça eSports drop to the lower bracket, where the loser will be eliminated from the tournament.

Group B:

• BIG 2:0 Crvena zvezda Esports
• Team Phantasma 1:2 Ici Japon Corp.

In Group B, BIG and Ici Japon Corp. advance through the upper bracket, while Crvena zvezda Esports and Team Phantasma drop to the lower bracket, where they will face each other in an elimination match.

Group C:

• Los Heretics 2:0 ZennIT
• Macko Esports 2:0 Flame Hard

In Group C, just like in Group A, there were no surprises, and all matches ended with a clean sweep. Los Heretics and Macko Esports advance and will face each other in the upper bracket. Meanwhile, ZennIT and Flame Hard will fight for survival in the lower bracket.

Group D:

• Karmine Corp Blue 2:1 E WIE EINFACH
• NightBirds 0:2 Los Ratones

In Group D, after the first day's results, Karmine Corp Blue and Los Ratones will face off—two of the most high-profile teams in the tournament. Will KC Blue be able to defeat such a strong opponent despite having two substitutes, or will they have to fight for a playoff spot through the lower bracket?
