Group A: FURIA and The MongolZ qualify
FURIA arrived in Beijing straight from their PGL Masters Bucharest title. According to Pley.gg, they reached their hotel at 2 a.m. and played on about four hours of sleep. They still beat FaZe 2-1, despite losing Ancient 13-11 after leading 10-2. Then they won a rematch of their Bucharest clash with NAVI 2-1 (12-16 Ancient, 16-12 Nuke, 13-10 Cache) to book a playoff place.
The MongolZ came from a map down to beat Legacy 2-1. They then edged HEROIC 2-0, with the second map ending 19-17 on Nuke. FURIA and The MongolZ meet in the Group A upper final, and the winner goes straight to the semifinals.
In the lower bracket, Team Falcons knocked out FaZe 2-1. esports.gg noted it was the first time karrigan had faced his former team. B8 beat Legacy 2-1 to send home the side that pulled off upsets at the Esports World Cup earlier this year.
