In the first match of the day, Vitality fought through a tough three-map series against FUT to earn the victory. Starting on Pearl, Vitality earned a 17-15 map win in overtime, with Sayonara leading the way. FUT had to bounce back on Ascent, and the team did just that with a confident 13-8 win. That meant the series came down to Split, which ended up as another overtime win for Vitality. This 14-12 win was once again led by Sayonara, but on Duelist this time, ending the series with 70 kills in the 2-1 victory.

Match one mattered, but the lower bracket match between Team Heretics and Eternal Fire dictated which final EMEA team would make it to London. Heretics had a little bit of added pressure, not only due to past expectations of international success, but also due to the chance of benjyfishy attending an event in his home country. Like the first match of the day, the series was a long three-mapper, starting with a 13-11 Lotus win from EF. Fracture was a 9-3 comeback from Heretics, ending it 13-10 with a near-perfect second half. That left the chances of London on Ascent, with Heretics once again winning the map 13-10 and securing that final London slot. Heretics truly returned to form with something the team first attempted in a time of desperate need: Wo0t on Duelist.

With these results, Heretics will face FUT Esports in the lower bracket finals to see which team will end up as the third seed. As for Vitality, the team waits in the finals to fight the victor for the top two seeds.
