Among other teams, Global Esports, GodLike Esports, and TSM performed decently during the first week to secure the sixth, seventh, and eighth spots respectively. These teams will definitely be looking to further strengthen their performance in the remaining two weeks.

Team Tamilas and Team SouL had a bad run in the first week finishing in the last and second-last place. Team SouL's bad form continued to haunt them as they were unable to find any momentum, losing crucial fights and getting eliminated early in multiple matches. Similarly, Team Tamilas also failed to find their footing and struggled to get their campaign going. These teams will look to reflect on their performance and come back stronger in Week 2.
