Results of previous game days:

At the end of the first day, PARIVISION took the lead in Group A, defeating paiN Gaming and Aurora Gaming, which set a world record of 22 consecutive wins after defeating BetBoom Team. It should be noted that the previous record also belongs to Aurora roster member Miroslav Mira Kolpakov, who previously won 21 consecutive matches as part of Team Spirit.
Group B
In Group B, Xtreme Gaming easily defeated Team Spirit to take first place in the standings, while Tundra Esports and MOUZ split the points.
Day 2
Group A
In Group A, Aurora Gaming continue their winning run and, after defeating paiN Gaming today, extended their streak to 23 victories. PARIVISION, Team Liquid and OG also completed the second day without a single loss. Accordingly, their opponents BetBoom Team, Team Yandex and Yakult Brothers have still not won a single map.
Group B
In Group B, Team Falcons remain the only undefeated team. Xtreme Gaming sit in second place, while Tundra Esports, MOUZ, Execration, and Natus Vincere finished the second day with a 2–2 record. Team Spirit are in a difficult position at 1–3, and GamerLegion have yet to win a single match.
Day 3
Group A
Aurora Gaming confidently remain at the top of the standings, closing the day with another 2-0 victory. PARIVISION are also performing well, but have one loss and played to a draw against Team Liquid today.
The weakest performances in the group stage so far belong to paiN Gaming, Team Yandex and Yakult Brothers - each team has only one win.
Group B
In Group B, the top two spots are occupied by MOUZ and Tundra Esports, each with six wins. Team Falcons and Xtreme Gaming lost one series each today and are positioned in the middle of the standings with a 5-3 record. Close behind them are Natus Vincere, also with five wins.
One of the tournament favorites, Team Spirit, find themselves in a very difficult situation and risk being eliminated without advancing from the group.
Day 4
Group A
Following the penultimate matchday, Aurora Gaming, Team Liquid, and PARIVISION have secured their spots in the playoffs, even though each still has one series left to play.
Meanwhile, Yakult Brothers, Team Yandex, and paiN Gaming have been eliminated from the tournament after failing to collect enough points - even victories in tomorrow’s matches will not be enough for them to advance.
BetBoom Team and OG Esports currently sit in fourth and fifth place in the standings and will face each other tomorrow. To reach tiebreakers and keep their playoff hopes alive, OG must defeat BetBoom with a 2:0 score.
Group B
In Group B, the situation remains less clear: only Tundra Esports and MOUZ have mathematically secured their playoff spots, while Execration and GamerLegion will leave the tournament tomorrow after finishing in the bottom two of the group.
Four teams are still fighting for a place in the next stage. Team Spirit and Natus Vincere must win their matches 2:0 and also hope that Xtreme Gaming or Team Falcons lose their respective series 0:2. Only under this scenario will tiebreakers be played in the group.
Day 5
Group A
Following the final day of the first group stage, OG Esports defeated BetBoom Team 2-0 and advanced to the tiebreakers, where they failed to secure another victory over their opponent and were eliminated from the tournament. In turn, BetBoom Team advanced to the second group stage.
Group B
In Group B, Natus Vincere and Team Spirit were unfortunate, as Team Falcons defeated Tundra Esports, while Xtreme Gaming took one map, eliminating both teams’ chances of reaching the tiebreakers. This tournament became the second in a row for the "Dragons" where they failed to qualify for the playoffs.
Day 6
Following the first day of the second group stage, Tundra Esports, Team Liquid, Aurora Gaming and Team Falcons won their matches and secured the top four spots in the standings. Almost all series ended with a 2:0 score.
Notably, Aurora made a comeback on the second map against PARIVISION, overturning an 11,000 gold deficit. As a result, the team extended their unbeaten streak to 29 matches.
Day 7
At the end of the day, Tundra Esports, Team Liquid, and Aurora Gaming became the leaders of the second group stage, winning their matches 2:0. Aurora continues its unbeaten streak, and today’s victory over Team Falcons marked the team’s 30th in a row.
BetBoom Team, PARIVISION and MOUZ are struggling the most, occupying the bottom three spots in the standings.
Day 8
Aurora Gaming continues to maintain its unbeaten streak, which has now surpassed 30 matches, and remains at the top of the group alongside Team Liquid. MOUZ and PARIVISION are closest to elimination. It is also worth noting the significant weakening of Team Falcons: the team's offlaner, Ammar ATF Assaf, will not be able to continue playing in the tournament due to health reasons. Without him, the team lost the series against Team Liquid without putting up much of a fight.
Day 9
Team Liquid managed to break Aurora Gaming's 31-game winning streak. Both teams are in a good position in the standings, as is Tundra Esports, which defeated Xtreme Gaming.
Team Falcons managed to recover after yesterday's series with SabeRLight- and, with a new stand-in, former Malr1ne`s teammate — Corrupted, defeated MOUZ, which, like PARIVISION, has yet to win a single match in the group stage 2.
Day 10
Tundra Esports and Xtreme Gaming were stronger than Team Falcons and BetBoom Team today. Team Liquid remains undefeated, beating PARIVISION, which lost its chance to advance to the playoffs. Unexpectedly, MOUZ managed to cling to the possibility of advancing to the main stage thanks to its victory over Aurora Gaming.
Day 11
Team Liquid secured their place in the upper bracket of the playoffs, while MOUZ lost their chance to advance to the main stage of the championship. PARIVISION, despite being guaranteed elimination, took points from Team Falcons, and Tundra Esports defeated BetBoom Team.

Day 13
In the first match of the playoff stage, Aurora Gaming defeated Xtreme Gaming with a 2-1 score and advanced further. The Chinese team was eliminated from the tournament.
