Unfortunately the other games weren't streamed, but there weren't exactly that many suprises. Scoring a 2:0 series over Dynamic , the other Asian team Azubu Blaze continued the tradition of Korean domination against the NA teams and will be facing Team Dignitas in the next round. Scarra and his boys managed to eliminate the one and only European representative - Counter Logic Gaming EU. Even though the team came up with a substitute player, due to Mitch 'Krepo' Voorspoels not being able to participate, the team did not give up easily - bringing the series to a close 2:1, they are down to the losers bracket and will be facing Dynamic .

That sums up day 1, stay tuned for more League of Legends action today!
