OpTic Gaming remain undefeated since winning Masters: Reykjavík with a 2–1 victory against Cloud9 during the VCT Challengers 2 group stage.
Cloud9 recently traded South Korean player Son “xeta” Seon-ho for T1’s Rahul “curry” Nemani before their matchup against OpTic. They had previously played their opening match of groups against Evil Geniuses with xeta still on the roster, which they won 2–0. OpTic, on the other hand, is coming off a 2–0 victory against FaZe Clan after winning Masters: Reykjavík and has not made any roster changes.
