All Knights vs. Galorys: A Strong Playoff Start
All Knights entered the playoffs with momentum after a series win against TSM, earning them a spot in the top four. Their first challenge in this stage was the Brazilian team, Galorys. Despite some initial setbacks, the Latin American team mounted impressive comebacks to secure victory and advance to the winners’ bracket.
Map 1: Haven – A Fierce Comeback

They extended their lead to 9-5, but All Knights rallied back with a relentless attack, led by Adverso and NicoMachine. The Latin American squad turned the game around to win 13-9, showing their resilience and tactical prowess.
Map 2: Bind – Another Turnaround
The second map, Bind, was Galorys’ pick, and they again dominated the first half, ending with a comfortable 9-3 lead. After switching sides, they nearly closed out the map with match point in sight. However, All Knights refused to give up. With Dantedeu5 leading the charge, they shut down Galorys’ advances and pulled off a remarkable comeback, securing a 14-12 victory.
