The remaining four teams are still searching for momentum after difficult starts to the tournament. While none have been eliminated, their margin for error continues to shrink as the Swiss Stage progresses.

Round 1 and Round 2 Recap

The opening two rounds delivered several expected results alongside a few notable surprises.

Team Vitality quickly established itself as one of the tournament favorites, producing back-to-back victories to secure an early playoff spot. Leviatán followed a similar path, overcoming two opponents to remain unbeaten and advance directly to the knockout stage.

Elsewhere, NRG and FUT Esports managed to keep themselves in the playoff race despite splitting their opening matches. Both teams showed flashes of strong form but were unable to maintain unbeaten records through the first two rounds.

For Global Esports, XLG Esports, FULL SENSE, and Dragon Ranger Gaming, the first days of competition proved more challenging. All four teams remain alive in the tournament, but they now face increased pressure as every remaining match carries greater significance.
