VeryGames and fnatic have topped their respective groups at MSI Beat it! to advance to semi-finals. Vox Eminor, Nface, SK Gaming and Legends move on to quarter-finals.
MSI Beat it! uses the old Intel Extreme Masters format where the group winners advance directly to the playoffs while the second and third place finishers face off in the quarter-finals.
The world's best team, VeryGames, had a perfect record in group stage as they finished 5-0 without giving up double digit rounds in any of their encounters en route to a guaranteed top four finish.
