Tundra Esports, Team Liquid and Aurora Gaming each won for the second straight day to open Group Stage 2 of DreamLeague Season 28 with 2-0 records on Sunday.
Xtreme Gaming also came away with a victory to bounce back from an opening loss to improve to 1-1 and move into a tie for fourth place on the second of seven consecutive days of play in this stage.
The $1 million Dota 2 event featured 16 teams, starting in a round-robin stage split into two groups of eight teams. All series consisted of two games, and the top four teams from each group advanced to Group Stage 2, a single round robin featuring best-of-three matches from Feb. 21-27.
From there, four teams will compete in a double-elimination playoff bracket Feb. 28-March 1 with best-of-three matches until the grand final, which will be best-of-five.
The championship team will receive $250,000 in prize money and a $40,000 club reward. The runner-up side will get $100,000 and a $30,000 club reward.
