VICTORES SUMUS meanwhile, took down LOCK IN in their Open Qualifier 35 first game before falling to Orgless 5 in a back-and-forth affair on Ancient, which went down to the wire. BENZENE and co. made it to the Masters 18, through the Open Qualifier 36, with an easier qualification path with lesser teams ahead of them.
