The First Stand 2025 can already be called a successful tournament. We have a very interesting format in the Fearless draft which brings quite unexpected results. Before two final matches of the group stage, only two teams are safe: Hanwha Life Esports is cruising through its opponents and CTBC Flying Oyster won two matches against champions from LEC and LTA.

Interestingly, Top Esports, Karmine Corp and Team Liquid will have to fight to stay in the tournament. Or, to be exact, this is true for TES and TL, as the LEC team has played all their matches. Team Liquid is facing HLE, and it's going to be an uphill battle, while TES is playing CFO, and here the match can go either way.

As only one team gets eliminated, we're focusing entirely on this aspect. So, here are the all possible outcomes.

  • Karmine Corp is eliminated if TES wins its match.
  • Team Liquid is eliminated if both TL and TES lose their matches.
  • Top Esports is eliminated if it loses against CFO while TL wins against HLE.

Day 5 starts at 9:00 CET, and it is going to be a thrilling ending for a group stage!
