The third day in Kazakhstan has come to an end, and we finally know the first teams to qualify for the Playoffs. The first to secure their spot were the sensational 9z — a relatively unknown South American roster that didn’t even have a ranking at the start of the year, and now they will play in the Playoffs of a major tournament. The second team to qualify was Spirit, which is quite expected, as they are among the main contenders for the title.
Tournament results:
- Gentle Mates 2:0 Heroic
- Aurora 2:0 PARIVISION
- The Mongolz 2:0 G2
- Falcons 2:0 Monte
- magic 2:0 K27
- 9z 2:1 MOUZ
- The Huns 2:0 Fisher College
- Spirit 2:1 FURIA
Monte suffered a loss today against Falcons, although they performed quite closely. Now Monte are one step away from elimination.
As a reminder, FURIA and Spirit are steadily making their way to the playoffs, while Falcons suffered a shocking loss to 9z at PGL Astana 2026
