Maps played are individual maps played, and games played are counted as Best of 1, best of 2, best of 3 or best of 5, so if a team played two best of 3 games and the score was 2-0 they played four maps total and won four, converted, they played two games and won two.

OK, so far Red Reserve won against team Horus 16-10, it was a bit sloppy game, but they managed to win, and Gunrunners won against team LeftOut with 16-12. My bet will go to team Red Reserve because they have more experienced players. Also because the winner will play against the winner of 3DMAX vs Vitality, so that will be an excellent match to predict, especially since Vitality won a major tournament last week.
