ESL Barcelona CS:GO Invitational: Day 2 Recap

After an interesting day one, day two gives us broken alliances and fantastic matches, and here is everything you need to know.

The first game of the day, which was picked by Fnatic after they won against gBots yesterday, was x6tence vs.  G2.Kinguin . It became extremely clear that the gameplan was to phase out the weaker teams so the stronger teams could secure a better chance at winning the larger prize money.
