Storylines
The top-three summit
Alter Ego vs NAVI on Friday is the headline. NAVI have a game in hand and the same 8 wins, so the winner moves level with or past Liquid ID in the race for first.
Bigetron's form check
Bigetron were unbeaten at 5–0 after Week 3 but have since dropped to 5–5. Back-to-back series against Geek Fam and RRQ are the perfect chance to steady the ship.
RRQ Hoshi on the brink
At 2–8, RRQ Hoshi are in unfamiliar territory near the bottom of the table. Friday's match against Bigetron could define their season.
Liquid ID, AE and NAVI have separated from the pack. But five weeks ago Bigetron were the team to beat — this table can still turn.
Prize pool: Rp4,860,000,000 (≈ $271,460). The season runs until 8 November.
