Luckily not everyone was against the star player as few users showed their support by, encouraging the player to ignore the haters, defending the remarks made by him, and wishing him luck for the upcoming qualifiers.

The top-rated Ukrainian organization after a decent start to the group stage faltered against Syman Gaming, in a surprising upset which led to the uncomfortable situation against Hard Legion. Na’Vi was not in their best form on the final day, as they tried to take the series onto the third map but failed to do so, placing fourth in their group overall and getting eliminated from the tournament.

The playoffs are set to start on 13^th May with Team Spirit, Winstrike Team, Nemiga Gaming, Hard Legion Esports, Virtus.pro, and Syman Gaming qualifying for this round through the group stage.
