The 1win Series Dota 2 Fall, an online tournament running from 19 to 22 November with a $100,000 prize pool, concluded its first day of matches. Group A teams competed fiercely, determining the first playoff qualifiers, and the teams eliminated from contention.
Team Liquid delivered an exceptional performance, securing victories over Nigma Galaxy and Gaimin Gladiators with identical 1:0 scores. These wins ensured an early playoff berth for the squad led by Samuel "Boxi" Svahn.
Gaimin Gladiators also advanced to the playoffs, defeating Team Secret (1:0) and edging out Nigma Galaxy in a tense 2:1 series. Erik "tOfu" Engel's team demonstrated strong form, keeping their championship hopes alive.
Despite a win against Team Secret (2:1), Nigma Galaxy fell short after losing to Team Liquid and Gaimin Gladiators, leading to their elimination. Amir "Miracle-" Al-Barkawi's roster exits the competition alongside Team Secret, who could not recover after consecutive defeats to Gaimin Gladiators and Nigma Galaxy.
The second day of action will feature Group B, starting with a clash between 1win Team and OG, as teams vie for playoff spots. The tournament’s champion will claim $50,000 of the prize pool.
