Impact carries EG to victory in 2 tiebreakers to close out Play-ins day 4
EG missed their chance to contend 1st place with Fnatic after losing to Japanese squad DetonatioN earlier in the day and also put themselves in a 3-way tie with DFM and LOUD. Even worse, they were seeded below LLL due to game duration.
