Outsiders and Vitality go 1-0 up in Malta
Both teams lived up to their favorite status and secured easy victories.
Team Vitality only had one day's rest before the ESL Pro League Champions were back in action in Malta with their opening match in Group B at the RMR tournament.
On the other side of the server, it was the completely unknown team, FANTASY, who was tasked with the huge task of dealing with ZywOo and company. The veto ended on Dust2, where Vitality quickly found their championship form going up 10-2 early on.

Dust2 was also the setting for Dzhami 'Jame' Ali and his men, as Outsiders began their journey towards the Rio Major. The CIS team faced another mixed team on the server, where familiar names from the servers of FACEIT in Volodymyr 'Woro2k' Veletniuk and Frederik 'Fessor' Sørensen stood tall in a good effort. But Outsiders and especially Jame had a good day in the office and conquered Dust2 16-9 to go 1-0 up in Group B.
