Notes:
  1. ^ a b G2 and Rogue's tie was broken by head-to-head record, with G2 winning both matchups.
  2. ^ a b Because Fnatic and Schalke were tied in their head-to-head record, their tie was instead broken by their win percentage in the second round robin. Fnatic won three games in the second round robin while Schalke won four, so fourth place was awarded to Schalke.
  3. ^ a b Misfits and SK Gaming's tie was broken by head-to-head record, with SK winning both matchups.
