Royal Never Give Up pushed through the final day going 2-0 again and thing Flash Wolves for the 1st seed. A tiebreaker was needed to decide who would be 1st and 2nd after groups. Royal continue their hot streak winning and 1st seed.
Flash Wolves started group with a 6-0 record but since have gone 1-4 including the tiebreaker. They go into semifinals as the 2nd seed and will most likely face KINGZONE.
KINGZONE beat Fnatic but lost to Flash Wolves on Day 5 and fell to 3rd seed. They had a chance for 1st but needed the 2-0. They will most likely face the 2nd seed Flash Wolves in the semifinals.
Fnatic left the door wide open for Team Liquid as they lost to both KINGZONE and EVOS on Day 5. Luckily, Royal beat Liquid to force a tiebreaker for the 4th seed. Caps and Rekkles showed up just in time and push Fnatic through to the semifinals, where they should face 1st seed Royal.
Team Liquid showed toughness and resilience as they fought back from a 1-5 start to finish 4-6 and go to a tiebreaker for that knockout stage spot. They had 2 chances to get into the knockout stage spot, but they couldn't find the winning formula against Royal or Fnatic.
EVOS Esports didn't have a chance at the knockout stage, but that doesn't mean that they had nothing to play for. They pushed but couldn't break KINGZONE. In the 2nd match, where Fnatic had a lot to play for, they pushed them to the limit and picked up their 2nd win of the tournament. They may have finished last, but it definitely showed that the Vietnamese region has talent and they could be scary at Worlds.
