Grand Prix: results of the first round of the main draw - who advanced further

The organizers of the Rise of Kingdoms Global Champions Grand Prix 2026 tournament confirmed the results of the first round of the playoffs: all matches in the upper bracket were played, and the first round in the lower bracket ended. The next matches will take place on Sunday.

Upper bracket: the main sensation of the round

The main result is the defeat of JST. The team confidently passed the opening matches, but lost to SBER in the first round of the main draw and dropped to the lower bracket. The rest of the pairs ended without such surprises: AQUA advanced by defeating 93T, 62M1 turned out to be stronger than 45Q, and 21YL knocked out 69Ds.

Who will play in the semi-finals

In the semi-finals of the upper bracket, which will take place on Sunday, SBER and 21YL will meet in one pair, as well as 62M1 and AQUA in the other. The winners will advance to the finals of the upper bracket, while the losers will continue to compete through the lower bracket.

There, in the lower bracket, after the first round, in particular, 93T and MING continue the distance - both teams won victories and retain their chances for the title. Let us remind you that the tournament bracket is built on a double-elimination system: one defeat does not eliminate the team, but each subsequent match as losers becomes the last chance.
