B8 pulled off the biggest upset of the first round of matches after they swept away MOUZ 16-9 in the opening game of the RMR.

The Ukrainians collected ten rounds on the T side of Ancient to race ahead, and MOUZ could never catch up - despite xertioN's best efforts. He put up over 100 ADR, but his team faltered behind him and B8 will move into the 1-0 bracket.

SAW put up a fight but couldn't muster up enough to take down the old foe Jame, as Virtus.pro's stellar CT side was too much for the Portuguese team.

A rare scoreboard-topping performance from Qikert put VP in pole position, pushing SAW down to the 0-1 bracket.

Both UK teams heroically pushed big teams to double OT, but both couldn't quite complete the job.

Girafffe dropped 43 kills and 105.5 ADR to power Viperio into a great position against fnatic, but the experience eventually shone through for fnatic.

Into The Breach, on the other hand, came back from 11-4 down against NAVI just to falter in second OT. A little shaky from NAVI, but fans will just be hoping it's a classic NAVI slow start.

Bad News Eagles were moved down to the 0-1 bracket as 1WIN powered past them on Mirage. deko and NickelBack combined for 46 frags as Boombl4's return to the Major cycle kicks off with a big victory.

Meanwhile, France's representative took the first step towards qualification to the Major in their capital thanks to a vintage performance from NBK-. The former Major winner dropped a 100+ ADR map to kick Sprout down to 0-1.

jL smacked GamerLegion around with 29 kills in 24 rounds as Apeks breezed into the 1-0 bracket, and FaZe made light work of OG.

Though OG collected 10 rounds, it never felt like FaZe were in trouble.

Next round of matches begins shortly!
