PSG.LGD performed impressively, smashing all the teams they encountered along the way to victory. The Chinese team whitewashed their opponents effortlessly except for the match with TNC Pro Team, which resulted in a 2:1 score**.**

VGJ.Storm has also shown an impressive playing style. After Resolut1on joined the crew, they won a minor and finished second at MDL Changsha Major, improving their overall pro circuit rank. Currently the team is placed eight. However, the team won’t receive an invitation due to changes in active roster. Let’s have a look at where are the other teams stand in the global ranking:
