Match by match

What it means for Day 2
The top five are only 12 points apart, so T1 and DN SOOPers still have a real shot at the title. Geekay and Gen.G are probably too far back to win now. Xportsnews says they would need at least one chicken with 10+ kills to get back into the race.
PGS 11 is the middle event of PGS Circuit 4, which ends with PGS 12 on 1 November. Every point here counts towards PGC 2026.
