The current leaders in Group A seem to be juggling their positions with each other, as Aura PH and Work Auster Force continue to perform exceptionally well. After the end of Week 5, Aura PH secured first place on the table after beating Bren Esports and Nexplay Esports. Following them is Work Auster Force, who also secured a victory against Execration in Week 5 and can still grab a leading position in Group A after Week 6 if they win both their games. Last year’s champion Bren Esports and Onic PH are tied up with 15 points each, at the 3rd and 4th place in the Group Stage table. Meanwhile, Cignal Ultra resides on the bottom of Group A with 0 wins heading into Week 6.

Group B:

In Group B, Blacklist International is leading the chart and is way ahead of the 2nd placed Omega Esports. The third positioned team of the group is Nexplay Esports. They are followed by Execration in 4th place, who’ve had a disastrous week losing all of their 3 matchups in Week 5. However, the worst-performing team in Group B continues to be Playbook Esports, who still only have 7 points under their name heading in to Week 6.

Blacklist International suffers its first loss.

On 29th April 2021, In the 2nd match of Week 5, Blacklist International faced defending champion Bren Esports. In the first game, they were equally matched, but Blacklist International’s stable gameplay led them to victory with a 15-11 score under 18 min. In game 2, Bren Esports had a poor start but kept control of the game steady by taking some objectives and creating space for their carry to come online. Bren Esports got a chance at the 21 min mark where they wiped out the Blacklist International and marched straight to the victory finishing the game in under 23 min. 

In the third game, Bren Esports showed us why exactly they were crowned as world champions earlier this year, as the defending champions showcased impressive map movements, never gave Blacklist International the space to come online. Bren Esports managed to secure the win over this year’s favorite Blacklist International with a 14-5 score in under 18 minutes.
