Commentator Rustam "Adekvat" Mavlyutov commented on the results of the group stage of Clavision: Snow Ruyi on his personal Telegram channel.
Mavlyutov mentioned that he woke up to check on the Chinese Clavision: Snow Ruyi, but it was inactive today. However, the playoff bracket was available. He noted that he enjoyed what he had seen from this tournament more than the matches he had commented on during the nights. Despite the substitutions, the teams provided more interesting gameplay. He explained that this made sense as there were fewer prepared and practised strategies with the substitutes, leading to more experiments and "fun" picks, resulting in more dynamic games and noticeably shorter average game durations.
He also pointed out that Nigma was in the upper bracket. Even if the playoffs do not go well, the team would still earn at least $28,000 for a top-eight finish at the LAN event, which would be their best result in two years. The team arrived with two substitutes and without KuroKy.
