Dec 24, 2020

All the group stage games of the 2020 KeSPA Cup Ulsan were concluded. Before the day’s games started, it was reported that a staff member of Fredit BRION was diagnosed with coronavirus, and they had to forfeit all of their remaining games for safety measures. As for the games that were held, kt Rolster defeated Hanwha Life Esports and T1 to advance straight to the semifinals while Hanwha Life Esports defeated Gen.G. Hanwha Life Esports and Gen.G advanced to the Round of 6, and T1 was eliminated without any wins.

As kt Rolster defeated Hanwha Life Esports in the first game, they collected their third win and confirmed 1st place in the group. In all parts of the game from gathering to split skirmishes, kt Rolster dominated Hanwha Life Esports. Although Hanwha Life Esports resisted well, they weren’t able to turn the game around.

The next match continued an hour later as Fredit BRION had to forfeit. Hanwha Life Esports faced Gen.G and outplayed them. From the early game, Jeong “Chovy” Ji-hoon collected solo kills against his counterpart Zoe. Gen.G attempted to change the scale by collapsing on the top lane, but the gap was too wide for them to cover. Through this game, Hanwha Life Esports confirmed 2nd place in the group through the head-to-head record.

The last game was between T1 and kt Rolster. In the early game, kt Rolster played through Yone, but T1 hit back with their teamfights. Until the 29-minute mark, the global gold difference was within 1K, but after kt Rolster succeeded to slay Baron, they won the teamfight and the game. With this win, kt Rolster advanced to the knockout stage undefeated.

The knockout stage will commence tomorrow in a Bo3 format.
