Spirit’s matchup with Aurora follows Spirit’s day-one win over Natus Vincere and will be their first meeting since last year’s Cologne event. Defending Major champions Vitality face 9z, a team they defeated at BLAST Open Rotterdam. Falcons, who opened Stage 3 with a win, play BetBoom, while FURIA meet MOUZ.
