As expected, ViCi and Flash topped their respective groups, followed by Eclipse and 5POWER in second place on day one, where they advanced to the semi-final playoffs. Bin "⁠Savage⁠" Liu and co. swept past Gan-Erdene "⁠dobu⁠" Batbold's crew in two quick maps, while Eclipse surprisingly edged past YuanZhang "⁠Attacker⁠" Sheng's squad with two overtime wins in the three-map series.

In the third place decider, Flash pulled off a reverse comeback against 5POWER and managed to qualify for the eXTREMESLAND Asia Finals 2017. On the other hand, ViCi repeated a similar scenario versus the upstarts Eclipse in the grand final, 2-1, after losing the first map in double overtime on Inferno.
