...> Well, on the first day, all the favorites crushed the underdogs 2-0 and advanced through the winners’ bracket, while the underdogs went to the losers’ bracket. There was literally only one somewhat interesting map between Nigma and RE; the rest were a mess.
After the first matches, Team Spirit, Enjoy, Nigma Galaxy, and Natus Vincere advanced to the second round of the upper bracket, while VP.Prodigy, Team Bald, Rune Eaters, and MODUS will continue in the lower bracket. The TI 15 European qualifiers are taking place from June 21 to 28.
