The second round kicked off on Thursday featuring many renowned clubs like Team XSpark, Carnival Gaming, Medal, 8Bit, and others. 32 out of the 512 participating teams have reached this stage through the Grind Event. Each will have six matches to display their strength and make it to the third round. This round is expected to be more competitive as compared to the previous phase. A few matches will also be live-streamed on the Krafton India Esports' YouTube channel.
