Cloud9 and FaZe Clan opened with sweeps Wednesday on the opening day of the Roobet Cup.

C9 defeated Complexity Gaming 2-0 in Group B action while FaZe breezed past OG 2-0 in Group A. BIG also won in Group A Wednesday, defeating Entropiq 2-1 in a reverse split.

The Astralis-Movistar Riders match in Group B was postponed during the opening map when the machine running the game’s server went down. Astralis was leading 7-6 on Mirage at the time. That match will be completed Wednesday.

The event features 16 teams battling for a prize pool of $250,000, with the winner earning $150,000. The teams are divided into four groups, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the playoffs. All group stage matches are best-of-three. The playoffs are single elimination and also best-of-three.

On Wednesday, C9 needed overtime to beat Complexity 19-16 on Inferno. C9 then took Dust II 16-7 for the win. Russian Dmitry “sh1ro” Sokolov had a monster match, recording 67 kills and a plus-36 kills-to-deaths differential. Every player for C9 finished with positive K-D differential.

FaZe opened with a 16-8 win on Dust II and then won 16-14 on Overpass to get past OG. Canadian Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken led FaZe with 54 kills and a plus-25 K-D differential. Latvian teammate Helvijs “broky” Saukants was right behind him with 49 kills and a plus-22 differential.

BIG had to rally back after dropping the first map to Entropiq 16-11 on Overpass. BIG rebounded with a 16-10 win on Dust II and then clinched with a 16-13 win on Mirage. BIG got off to an 11-2 lead but then let Entropiq creep back. Entropiq won eight of the next nine rounds to get within 12-10 and then 13-12. But BIG took three of the next four rounds for the win.

Karim “Krimbo” Moussa was the only standout for the all-German side, finishing with 74 kills and a plus-18 differential. Three of five players finished with a negative differential for BIG. Nikolay “mir” Bityukov led the all-Russian Entropiq side with 73 kills and a plus-15 differential.

BIG will play FaZe in the Group A winners’ match on Friday. Entropiq will play OG in the Group A elimination match on Saturday.
