Day one’s first match up will be between Europe’s 2016 number four seed Unicorns of Love and 2016 World Championship International Wildcard participant INTZ E-Sports. While the day’s second match will feature Australia's Chiefs eSports in their first non-wildcard international tournament facing off against Korea’s Longzhu Gaming.

The teams in match one will be playing for the chance to take on North America’s Team SoloMid in the Semi-Finals during day two, with the teams in match two playing for the chance to face Taiwan’s Flash Wolves. Rift Herald recently had a chance to talk to TSM coach Parth Naidu to get a little more information about how the team prepared for the tournament and handled the return of their old AD Carry Jason “Wildturtle” Tran.
