The European representative in the play-offs Team BDS slipped at the very beginning of Group B where they experienced an unexpected defeat by the Vietnamese team Team Whales.
The most surprising thing is the fact that BDS completely demolished TW in the first game. They went 15-2 in kills, and Adam "Adam" Maanane was completely unstoppable on 8-0-4 Darius.
A routine victory was expected in the sequel, only for Team Whales to completely reverse the course and outcome of the match. ADC Tran "Artemis" Quoc Hung especially impressed, who played 11-0-8 on Kaisa in the second game, and then 5-0-5 as Xayah in the third, while Juš "Crownie" Marušić was almost invisible on Ezreal.
Although he had two extremely difficult games on the top, Nguyen "Sparda" Vo Anh Hoang managed to stabilize himself and played extremely Xanthe in the third, and the whole team played much better as a team than their opponents. Team Whales slowly won neutral objectives with a calm game, collected dragons and Baron, and in the end, in one final attack, they completely broke the opposition's resistance and deservedly took the victory.
In the second match of Group B, CTBC Flying Oyster beat Japan's DFM 2-0. Hsu "Rest" Shihchien finished the match without a single death like Rumble, and CTBC both games played a similar team composition with a tank in the jungle and Jayce in the mid, the only major difference we saw in the bot where Chao "Shunn" Yingshun did a good job twice job, once on Draven and a second time on Kaisa with a total KDA of 14-3-15.
The matches of the winners of the first round are on the program tomorrow, while the teams fighting for survival will play on Friday, after which we will find out who are the first two teams to leave the tournament.
