The VCT open qualifier in North America saw a couple of S-tier teams that were unable to qualify for the next stage as the former is deemed to be brutal, featuring back-to-back matches right from the Round of 128. Cloud9 Blue, TSM.FTX, T1, and FaZe Clan were among those who weren’t able to progress through their brackets despite having top-notch squads. Teams like Rise, Pioneers surprisingly rose to dominance and eventually qualified for the Challengers in just one flawless attempt.

- Version1 Vs 100 Thieves: Tonight, 2:30 IST
