SpaceStation Gaming answered elsewhere, beating FUT Esports 4–2 and Virtus.pro 4–0 for a 2–1 week of their own. In the Championship Series’ 2v2 side event, No Miss Just Fake edged Team Falcons 4–3. League of Legends’ Summer playoffs moved forward in both North America and Europe: Team Liquid swept FlyQuest 3–0 in the LCS, and G2 Esports swept Movistar KOI 3–0 in the LEC. The week’s single largest room was Dota 2’s PGL Wallachia 9 — Conventus Stellarum against Xtreme Gaming drew 13,537 — though that series sits outside f0rmless’s verified top-results set, so no score is stated for it here. Of 331 matches settled across 13 games, Friday was the busiest day.
