remains towards the top of the region in terms of statistics, with a 1.79 rating returning him to the top of the overall scoreboard.

's encounter was a closer affair, albeit still a 2-0 in NRG's favor. Overtime multikills from

helped secure Lotus in overtime. Similar heroics (as in, a second and third ace from mada, as well as a handful of clutches) kept them ahead of MIBR on Bind, confirming a playoffs appearance from the United States roster and all but leaving MIBR's fate out of their own hands.

, confirming top seed and a playoffs bye in the process. The Madrid winners had been the first Americas team to secure playoffs, but the win would still have implications for the final Group Alpha team to advance. EG's loss and the awkward back-and-forth between the bottom teams, 2Game and FURIA, meant either of the struggling teams are still able to make the knockouts over the 2023 Champions.
Both of the region's Latin-America-based organizations faced each other in their most recent match. They were part of a tightening mid-table battle in Group Omega, looking to clinch playoffs or pave their way to do so in next week's series. A strong start was not enough to secure the victory for

, respectively. FURIA's defeat saw them winning only seven rounds, while LOUD was able to 13-2 Group Omega's leading team in the opener, Sunset. 100 Thieves ultimately forced overtime on the decider, winning previous permaban Lotus 14-12. This cemented their status for the week as top Omega team, as well as helped the North American lineup avoid a direct entry into the lower bracket. A 100T loss could have muddied the waters enough for the overall picture to remain unclear heading into the final matches, but, in the end, the result meant MIBR was directly eliminated from playoffs and only one slot was left open for the group.
The following matches will conclude the Americas Stage 2 groups:
