The victory follows another convincing performance from GamerLegion in their opening match. They began the tournament by defeating Luminosity 13-3 on Nuke and have now won three consecutive maps while conceding just 14 rounds.<\/p>\n

JiJieHao entered the series after producing one of the biggest surprises of the opening round. They defeated Spirit 13-10 on Mirage, but were unable to repeat that performance against GamerLegion.<\/p>\n

Despite the loss, JiJieHao remain alive in the tournament and will continue their campaign in the lower part of the group.<\/p>\n
