The group stage of Logitech G Play Connect has wrapped up in Warsaw, Poland, determining which teams will compete for a share of the $100,000 prize pool in the playoff brackets.
B8 dominated Group A with a flawless performance, sweeping through without dropping a single map. Only Luminosity managed to reach double digits against the Ukrainian squad. Luminosity and M80 secured the remaining Group A playoff spots, both finishing with identical 3-2 records to claim quarter-final berths.
Inner Circle took command of Group B, maintaining an undefeated streak until their final group match. With a playoff position already locked in, they fell to EYEBALLERS in their closing game. The Group B standings became complicated with three teams tying at 3-2, but BBL and 3DMAX advanced based on superior head-to-head results against EYEBALLERS, who narrowly missed the cut.
The tournament proved disastrous for several prominent organizations. Ninjas in Pyjamas suffered a catastrophic group stage, managing only one victory against Metizport while absorbing four defeats. This elimination virtually confirms their absence from PGL Major Singapore following an underwhelming season.
Team Liquid's campaign ended with mixed results despite competing with a substitute player and without their coach Viktor "flashie" Tamás Bea. They remained in contention for advancement until their final match, where BBL delivered a decisive defeat. However, Liquid should still have sufficient opportunities to qualify for the Singapore Major through other events.
GamerLegion also failed to escape the groups and now face Major qualification uncertainty, though their performance was hampered by Fredrik "REZ" Sterner's absence due to food poisoning.
The competition now transitions to a single-elimination best-of-three bracket format, culminating in a best-of-five grand final.
