DreamLeague Season 23 standings: Day two
Ranking Team [Group A] Score Team [Group B] Score | 1. Gaimin Gladiators 7-1 Team Falcons 7-1 | 2. Xtreme Gaming 5-3 Tundra Esports 6-2 | 3. Aurora 4-4 Azure Ray 3-5 | 4. HEROIC 4-4 NAVI 3-5 | 5. Team Liquid 3-5 Shopify Rebellion 3-5 | 6. PSG Quest 1-7 BetBoom Team 2-6 |
Group A: PSG Quest is the first to exit DreamLeague Season 23
PSG Quest didn't have a good start and they certainly didn't have a good ending. The team failed to get any series wins, with only a draw on the table. The team suffers the first elimination of the tournament, and with this exit, they are also short of points to qualify for Riyadh Masters.
Gaimin Gladiators managed to keep up their momentum, getting another win in day two and a draw against HEROIC. This convincingly secures their slot in the Playoffs. Xtreme Gaming follows closely behind GG.
An interesting sight in DreamLeague Season 23's Group Stage is definitely the stable performances from underdogs of the tournament, Aurora and HEROIC. Both teams hail from the weaker regions but are delivering plausible results. And yes, they are looking slightly better than Team Liquid. The Western European powerhouse nears elimination with two series losses so far.

BetBoom Team has been insanely consistent in the past year. They would constantly finish in the top 3 or top 6 of events, even becoming the first team to earn an invite to Riyadh Masters. But in PGL Wallachia, BetBoom bombed out early. While some fans felt like it could just be an anomaly, BetBoom seems to underperform once again in DreamLeague Season 23's Group Stage.
The Eastern European all-stars only managed to get one series win against NAVI. They have lost to three teams - Falcons, Azure Ray, and Tundra. With this result, BetBoom may just be the first team knocked out from Group B if they fail to recuperate.
On the other hand, Tundra Esports has secured a Playoffs spot alongside Team Falcons. Despite playing with a new stand-in, Tundra has been performing well. With this Playoffs entry, they simultaneously earn a spot in Riyadh Masters!
