However, fans quickly noticed the absence of Ceb during the drafting phase. The position 5 is played by Immersion instead.

A while after the first game started, OG then posted an official announcement regarding Ceb's absence, disclosing that he has to step away due to a family emergency.

Ceb has a family emergency and unfortunately cannot join us for the series today. We send him all our love and support. Immersion will be standing in as position 5, we are super grateful for his help and for joining us last minute.

Despite the last-minute change up, OG managed to grab a quick first win against Entity. The second game will unfold right after and decide if OG or Entity gets to continue their Upper Bracket run.
