Moscow, Russia (GotFrag) -- An amazing first day of matches have just wrapped up in Moscow, Russia and things are only going to get more exciting tomorrow with stage two of the tournament. Eight teams have advanced from the group stage phase and will now face one another in a single elimination best of three maps bracket to determine the winner. There were no shortage of upsets and exciting close matches on day one including EG storming past fnatic and Virtus.pro, HellRaisers upsetting roccat and mibr knocking off SK.

As stated, matches are only going to get harder and more intense in day two starting with a clash of two teams many expected to be in the finals, fnatic and Meet Your Makers. Courtesy of a loss to EG, fnatic now finds themselves up against a very tough first round opponent in the former PGS squad, MYM. Team EG will also have a tough first round opponent as they take on another Swedish squad in SK Gaming. The other two first round matches will see Made in Brazil taking on roccat and HellRaisers, who finished first in their group ahead of roccat, playing the former NoA squad, mTw.
