FunPlus Phoenix

FunPlus Phoenix entered the tournament as the biggest underdogs according to various pre-event predictions, and their initial match performance against Evil Geniuses did little to alter this perception. However, it must be stated that they were up against the most in-form team in the world right now. Losing the opening series 2-0, FPX now face elimination as they gear up for their upcoming clash against T1.

T1

T1 suffered a devastating loss in their opening matchup against FUT Esports. Managing to win only 11 rounds across two maps, the start of their Champions 2023 campaign could not have been any worse. Nevertheless, the Koreans now find themselves in an opportune position to avoid elimination and restore their morale as they are set to face FPX, a comparatively less formidable opponent.
