The Shanghai Major's second stage delivered surprising results on day one, with MIBR and The MongolZ positioning themselves one win away from playoff qualification. However, their advancement isn't guaranteed, as demonstrated by Complexity's fate in stage one.

Four teams emerged undefeated with 2-0 records:

• The MongolZ
• MIBR
• Team Vitality
• HEROIC (Most impressive scores: 13-7 vs BIG, 13-8 vs FaZe Clan)

Vitality faces MIBR next, while HEROIC must overcome The MongolZ, who have already defeated G2 Esports and MOUZ.

Eight teams stand at 1-1:

• G2 Esports
• FaZe Clan
• MOUZ
• 3DMAX
• Team Spirit
• Team Liquid
• Natus Vincere
• FURIA Esports

Notably, Na'Vi suffered a surprising 11-13 loss to MIBR on Inferno after a challenging first half (3-9).

Four teams face near-elimination with 0-2 records:

• GamerLegion
• BIG
• paiN Gaming
• Wildcard

Despite the seemingly lopsided results, matches remained competitive throughout, with nine of the sixteen matches seeing the losing team secure 10+ rounds. Even BIG, who struggled the most, managed to win 12 rounds in their matches.
