As CS Asia Championships 2023 advances, Groups A and B are now starting to show the teams who will be playing in the Playoffs in search of the $250,000 prize reserved for the champion. Here, we’ll delve into what has gone down so far in the group stage, as well as what we can expect to see in the days to come.

Group Stage

The eight teams have been divided into two groups, both with Upper and Lower brackets – which gives losing teams a chance to fight for a spot in the Quarter-Finals. In short, the winners in the Opening Round are guaranteed a spot in the Quarter-Finals, but move on to the Semi-Finals if they win the Upper Finals in their group.

In contrast, the losers in the Opening Round are sent to the Lower Bracket, where they have the chance to grab a spot in the Quarter Finals against the Upper Finals loser. With that out of the way, let’s see what happened in Groups A and B so far.

Group A

This group had ENCE, TYLOO, Astralis and Lynn Vision fighting for the two spots in the Playoffs. Here’s how it went:

Opening Round (bo1)

ENCE vs. TYLOO (13 x 7): ENCE moved on to the Upper Final, TYLOO was sent to the Lower Final
Astralis vs. Lynn Vision (13 x 4): Astralis moved on to the Upper Final, Lynn Vision was sent to the Lower Final

Lower Final (bo3)

TYLOO vs. Lynn Vision (1 x 2): TYLOO eliminated, Lynn Vision move on to the Playoff Quarter-Finals and will play against the loser from Group B’s Upper Final.

Upper Final (bo3)

ENCE vs. Astralis (1 x 2): Astralis moved on to the Playoff Semi-Finals, ENCE was sent to the Playoff Quarter-Finals to play against the winner from Group B’s Lower Final.

Group B

This group has MOUZ, Wings Up, FaZe and Ninjas in Pyjamas fighting for the same spots as the teams on Group A. So far, only MOUZ and Wings Up have played, with MOUZ winning by 13x2 and moving on to the Upper Finals. On the other hand, Wings Up was sent to the Lower Finals, where they’ll play against the loser from the faceoff between FaZe and Ninjas in Pyjamas.
