Round 1 & 2 of BLAST Pro Series Moscow 19 have been played and that means Day 1 is officially over. Close games in Round 1 and even closer games in Round 2 made this an exciting first day of BLAST Pro Series Counter-Strike.
Here are the current standings after Day 1:
One team that stands out is the qualifier underdog team forZe - the only team to end the day with a 2-0 score. Fans are coming to VTB Arena tomorrow to cheer for NAVI, but maybe they shouldn't sleep on forZe who also happens to be a Russian team and they surely proved that they deserve the full support of the Russian fans.
Tune in tomorrow at 12.30 CEST when Round 3 starts, followed by Round 4 and 5, the BLAST Stand-Off and, of course, the Grand Finale. Everything can happen at this point.
Below you will find a detailed run-through of today's matches.
