Overview
- G2 Esports, FUT Esports and FURIA all won their Round-of-16 series to advance to the single-elimination quarterfinals, with G2 scheduled to meet FURIA in the tournament's opening quarterfinal.
- Two outlets conflict on the GamerLegion–MOUZ result: Crypto Briefing says GamerLegion won while Deadspin (Field Level Media) reports MOUZ prevailed, leaving FUT’s quarterfinal opponent uncertain.
- Individual performances drove the Day One outcomes, including Nemanja “huNter” Kovac’s 50 kills and +17 K‑D for G2 and Dmytro “dem0n” Myroshnychenko’s 57 kills and +15 K‑D for FUT.
- Crypto Briefing reported that FURIA’s win pushed its prediction‑market price to about 15% YES on Vera, showing immediate market response to the playoff results.
- The EWC playoffs use best‑of‑three matches until a best‑of‑five final, the winner earns $600,000 and 1,000 club points, and organizers say final‑day tickets at Paris’s Accor Arena are sold out.
