Twelve teams are already through to the group stage: JD Gaming, Top Esports, Edward Gaming, Gen.G Esports, T1, DAMWON Gaming, Rogue, G2 Esports, Cloud9, 100 Thieves, CTBC Flying Oyster and GAM Esports.

DRX dumped Saigon in 25 minutes on blue behind a 5-1-2 kill-death-assist ratio from Kim “Zeka” Geon-woo. Against Istanbul, DRX prevailed in 26 minutes on red thanks to Zeka’s 12-0-8 K-D-A ratio.
