Day 1
SPIDERMAN vs AK
Most of the players chose AK as the strongest team, and it was no wonder as they showed off strong firepower and great teamwork. It was a rather one-sided game, AK shutting out Spiderman 3–0. Their gameplay made other teams nervous, and after the game, AK’s leader, Seymar, showed confidence by saying that his team has lots of additional strategies up their sleeves.
KoreaT1 vs SoKoMo
Although the match ended 3–0, the game was very tight. qhrtj1234 of KoreaT1 recorded the best score, breaking his own record several times and steering his team to victory. As the members of KoreaT1 are real-life friends, it was obvious they had the advantage of ironclad teamwork. With a traditional combination of tankers and healers, their gameplay was a classic example of effective Spider Tanks, earning them a textbook win.
Las vs GOST
The last game of Day 1 was the most exciting as well as the closest. The winner was Las with the overall score of 3–1, but two of three wins were from-behind victories. Out of three matchups, their first game was the only one to go into overtime. This matchup was simply unpredictable until the end, making people go crazy about the game. It was a chance for other teams to learn how strong Las was.
All ten games were played in Deathmatch Mode, showing that the Deathmatch Mode was unanimously the most popular among all players.
Viewers shared all the excitement and tension via YouTube. The games finished close to midnight (KST), and three winners are now advancing to the quarterfinals.
