Day 2 of SMM went off to a better start compared to day 1 with majority of the technical issues being fixed.
Once the group stage games were done, the playoff bracket was available. Some interesting match ups and results occurred.
In the first round, the two Malaysian's pride, MUFC and Orange were sent into the losers bracket by EG and MiTh.Trust respectively. While MSPR, Yamateh's team for the event managed to overcome Singapore's Immortality to reach round two. The four Chinese team had no problems winning their games and breezed through to round 2. Mineski also managed to win their game against Ks-JJ, in a thrilling stage match.
Round two is where things start to get interesting. First stage match for round 2 was between Mineski and LGD whereby Mineski pulled another surprise result like what they did at "The International" taking down Chinese powerhouse, LGD who did not lose a game at all in their groups. The second stage match was DK vs iG which proved to be another thrilling game with lots of kills going back and forth. But iG was able to inch ahead of DK to win their game. Can DK make a comeback and win their seventh consecutive title?
The most controversial match of the day was between EG and MiTh. Both teams were playing fine up to the 16th minute when a player from MiTh disconnected from the game. EG wanted to claim the win due to the disconnect but after discussion among the teams and the marshals. It was ruled that a remade will be done. MiTh won the remade game. Misery and Demon were unsatisfied with the results and had no intentions to hide it.
