G2, Monte, and Gentle Mates Eliminated on Day Two of BC Game Masters Championship Season 1

The second day of BC Game Masters Championship Season 1 ended with a series of unexpected results and determined all participants of the tournament’s semifinal stage. Following the quarterfinals, BetBoom Team, HOTU, BIG, and SINNERS advanced to the top 4 of the event, while G2, Monte, and Gentle Mates were eliminated.

One of the biggest surprises of the day was G2’s defeat in their debut tournament with Guy NertZ Iluz. The European squad lost 1-2 to SINNERS, which was a noticeable blow to the confidence of the updated roster. Despite the loss, the team’s coach Eetu sAw Saha made it clear that the squad views the current tournaments more as a preparation stage for bigger and more important championships.

No less important was the match between Monte and BetBoom Team, in which the CIS side claimed a 2-0 victory. This defeat dealt a serious blow to Monte’s chances of advancing further in the race for a Cologne Major spot. Another crucial match for the invite race was the meeting between BIG and Gentle Mates, where the German team proved stronger and won the series 2-0, significantly improving their position in the Global VRS.

Another winner of the day was HOTU, who defeated Tricked 2-0 and kept alive their slim but still realistic hopes of qualifying for the Major.
