They opened the round-robin Round-Robin Fnatic with a match against Cloud9. The North American champions managed to take a point of prestige and "squeeze" the card from Fnatic, avenging their defeat in the first stage of the group stage.

After a disappointing start, Fnatic played against T1. The South Korean giants fully repaid the “orange” for the only defeat during the Worlds 2022 group stages, ending the series at the 29th minute.

In the match number 3 and 4, EDward Gaming alternately played with Cloud9 and Fnatic. The reigning world champions were successful in both maps, finishing the first in 26 minutes and the second in 29.
