NA has seen a strong start while the EU struggled

Riot Games has also capitalized on the fact that no other esport is currently organizing a major event. Naturally, this has played a key role in attracting everyone’s attention to the first international tournament since the pandemic began. Shroud managed to attract over 150+ viewers during the Fanatic Vs Sentinels series, meanwhile, Team Liquid Vs Version also saw heavy traffic.

Version 1 claimed victory over Team Liquid in an intense 3 game series. Sentinels were able to establish complete dominance in their game by winning both maps. However, all these teams showcased great skill and prowess in their respective games, which makes them a strong contender.

The results for day three have put both EU teams in troubled waters, as they find themselves in the lower bracket. Neither Fanatic nor Team Liquid can afford to suffer another setback, as it will eliminate them from the tournament. Meanwhile, NA has found themselves in a great position, as both Version 1 and Sentinels have secured the first victory in the upper bracket.
