The first two days of the Esports World Cup brought almost no surprises. The slightly quirky tournament format gave us almost no Opening stage matches that stretched to three maps. The outcomes were also quite predictable: all the favorites advanced to the playoffs.

However, in the Resurrection stage, we saw some interesting teams in a heated Olympic system with best-of-1 format matches. In the final of this last-chance bracket, the revamped FURIA Esports faced The MongolZ, who had been performing consistently well in the first half of the season. The Brazilians proved to be stronger, and although their newcomer skullz failed to have a decent score in this match, he has generally performed well in the tournament.

The only big upset of the tournament is Complexity. The North American team got eliminated after the first round loss to M80 in the Resurrection stage. However, the most interesting storylines are ahead of us.The Esports World Cup now heads to the decisive playoff stage. Single Elimination, Best-of-3, and the champion will be crowned this Sunday.
