With a prize pool of $2,250,000, the biggest Champions event has sixteen top teams from all four major regions battling it out for the "world champion" title. The tournament has already seen four teams qualify for the playoff stages, which leaves four more slots to be filled in the upcoming days.
One of the exciting matches to be held on day six is the matchup between KRU Esports and Giants. Both of these teams have qualified via the LCQs of their respective regions and have a lot of expectations to fulfill.
