Here is how the results ended up for week two in China:

For clarification, due to the lack of off days until the end of the group stage, Monday's games are considered part of the next week and will be covered in the next weekly recap.

TYLOO matched last week's performances with another 2-0 week, defeating EDG and FunPlus Phoenix FunPlus Phoenix China Rank #10 AAAAY Zhang Yang (张杨) KovaQ Blendi Kovaci coconut Colin Patrick Chung (钟弘祖) Xlele Zhao Yanbo (赵炎博) Setrod Ou Taigeng (欧泰赓) . Nova earned two close victories to end week two 3-0, putting together a three-match win streak for the first time since Stage 1 last year. Teams will need to plan around the Split that Nova showcased against JDG, with the Raze and Deadlock combination leading to a 13-4 win.

Returning from EWC, XLG and EDG started with upset losses and rebounded to win their next two games. In particular, after a rough series against TYLOO, nobody rose to the occasion to top frag in two maps of the two EDG sweeps.

All Gamers struggled more, defeating Wolves but losing to strong teams in XLG and BLG. AG is still striving to reach the same form from Kickoff, but the team's struggles on the new map Summit led to the two series losses.

Moving on to the best players of the week, we have a new Russian import player taking the reins from last week's victor. Nova wouldn't be undefeated if it wasn't for swagzor, who ended week two with absurd stats, including a 1.66 match rating, 286 ACS, 219.2 ADR, and 0.98 KPR. Some other honorable mentions include vo0kashu , slowly , Coco , and Rarga .
