The Counter-Strike 2 event began Tuesday with 16 teams competing in two groups in a double-elimination format. Group winners advanced directly to the semifinals, with the runners-up advancing to the quarterfinals as the high seeds and the third-place teams as the low seeds.

MIBR’s quarterfinal opponent will be Alliance, who advanced out of the Group B lower bracket with sweeps against TYLOO and magic.
Legacy secured the top spot in Group B with a sweep against FURIA, winning 13-7 on Mirage and 13-9 on Ancient as Brazil’s Bruno “latto” Rebelatto provided a team-high 37 kills.
FURIA’s opponent in the quarterfinals will be G2 Esports, who emerged from the Group A lower bracket with a 2-1 win against 9z Team and a sweep of 5star eSports.
