Group B:

Tournament Format:

• 12 teams are split into two groups (A and B) of six teams each.

• Single round-robin format with all matches played as best-of-threes

• The top four teams from each group advanced to the Playoffs.

• Matches run from June 12 to June 29, 2025.

Gen.G Esports delivered an unstoppable performance in Group A, finishing with a flawless 5–0 series record and an outstanding 10–1 map differential. Hot on their heels was dopamine, which secured second place with a 4–1 record, their only loss being delivered by Gen.G.

AssembleFire and Crazy Raccoon rounded out the top four, coming up clutch in decisive games and displaying the kind of resilience expected from veteran rosters. Crazy Raccoon, in particular, thrived in high-pressure moments, capitalizing on their experience from prior tournaments.

Unlike Group B, Group A experienced more disruption and imbalance. SILVER RAGE, initially expected to be a dark horse, withdrew from the tournament, leaving a gap in the standings and altering the group dynamics. Although Rival Esports completed all their matches, they struggled to find form and could not mount a challenge for a Playoff spot.

While every team in Group B entered with high hopes, REJECT ultimately stood above the rest, putting on a masterclass of macro control, coordinated initiations, and superior map awareness. They closed the group stage with a perfect 5–0 record and a near-flawless 10–1 map differential, replicating Gen.G’s dominance in Group A.

What set REJECT apart was not just their mechanical precision, but also their ability to adapt mid-series, quickly reading opponents' win conditions and shutting them down. Whether playing from behind or with an early lead, REJECT maintained a composed tempo that few could disrupt. Their matches rarely went to a third map, highlighting just how clean and confident their play style was.

Behind them, the fight for the remaining three Playoff spots was fierce and unpredictable, with XOXO01, MVNEsport, and AlenTiar ultimately punching their tickets through a mix of consistency, clutch performances, and strategic growth.
