Being that he was one of the favorites to win the event, it came as no surprise when Liquid’s 72hrs claimed Victory Royale in match one.
However, he was only third in the leaderboard at the time as competitive player Armond and Sentinel pro Aspect were first and second with five and four points respectively.
The second match saw Winter Royale standout Pearl take the Victory Royale and boost up 32 spots to take first in the leaderboard.
Competitive player Pate1K also boosted up 30 spots to fourth after getting a whopping six eliminations in the match. Some major names had also sneaked into the top 10 at this point, including the likes of Vivid and Team SoloMid’s ZexRow.
The third match saw the emergence of Saf, who was on the winning team of the $100,000 Duos tournament from the day before.
His Victory Royale propelled him all the way to first place with 8 points, two points clear of the second place Pearl, and three points clear of Pate1K, Vicaros, and Almond, all of whom had five points going into the halftime break.
Vivid stepped up his game in the fourth match, taking the Victory Royale and putting in some good work in the eliminations department.

That was good enough to put him in the lead after match four, as his nine points were one better than the eight that Saf and Kyzui had gotten up to that point.
