Ninjas In Pyjamas the favourites
In the first series of the day, Ninjas in Pyjamas demonstrated why they’re one of the favourites to win the StarLadder ImbaTV Dota 2 Minor #2. That was a tough lesson for Mineski. But Damien ‘kpii‘ Chok’s team still had one more chance to qualify for the playoffs.

Sirius stomp their way into the next round
Their Chinese opponents, Team Sirius, beat compLexity Gaming earlier that day and were ready for another 2-0 victory.
Unfortunately for Mineski, the series turned out to be the fastest one so far in the tournament as Team Sirius made a quick work of them, forcing them to tap out by 24 mins in game one and in game 2 Mineski were forced into their base and had their backs against the wall. While Team Sirius showed us some really good teamwork yet they did fall to Ninjas in Pyjamas in their first game of the group stage.
While each team had their share of hurdles, only some were formidable and earned themselves a spot in the playoffs.

With Ninjas in Pyjamas and Alliance having a smooth time in the group stages, will Team Sirius and Anvergosa live up to their performance from the group stage and give us a hell of a show in the playoffs.
We’ll find out soon as the games are about to begin!
