For Day 1 of this week, only one match was able to be played because of server issues. The matches that were not played are being rescheduled; stay tuned for the updated schedule.
The match that was played, however, was an incredible one. FaZe Clan went up against Cloud9, and many expected this to be a easy series for FaZe; however, every single map in this series was close. FaZe was able to take Game 1 Hardpoint, but Cloud9 fired back in a S&D Game 2 win. The series went all the way to a Game 5 and Cloud9 secured the series win 3-2.
DAY 2 - WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1 RECAP
After a long struggle in Stage 2, Team SoloMid were finally able to clutch up and win a series 3-1 vs. 100 Thieves. As of now, TSM and 100 Thieves are now tied up for last place in Stage 2.
Cloud9’s winning streak continued in Day 2, going up against Dream Team. While DT was able to pick up Hardpoint, the rest of the series went in Cloud9’s favor, as they won 3-1.

The remaining matches of Day 2 also ended in 3-0 wins for FaZe and Team EnVyUs. The series between FaZe vs. Luminosity was a very one-sided series, in favor of Faze, as they ran through it 3-0. The day finished off with EnVyUs vs. H2K. EnVyUs, lead by big plays from JKap, were able to win this series 3-0.

MATCH OF THE WEEK
This week’s match of the week would determine the first place team. A rematch from Stage 1 Finals, Rise Nation went up against OpTic Gaming. The first time these two teams meet in Stage 2 was in Week 1, and Rise Nation took that series. This time, however, was different.
Game 1 Hardpoint was dominated by OpTic, with Crimsix finishing with 51 kills. OpTic continued to dominate in Game 2, winning it 6-2. The series ended in Game 3 Uplink; OpTic won it 11-4 and took the series 3-0.
