Abed Yusop and the rest of Shopify Rebellion will have to continue their ESL One Berlin Major run in the lower bracket after dropping their series, 2-0, against 9 Pandas Tuesday morning (Manila time).

Gleb "kiyotaka" Zyryanov, the matchup of Abed in the middle lane, overpowered Rebellion on his Tiny and Puck, stashing 12-5-18 and 11-4-14 performances in Games 1 and 2, respectively.

Despite securing the "highly contested" Medusa in Game 1, Rebellion's Artour "Arteezy" Babaev was heavily countered by the opposition's Nyx Assassin and Skywrath Mage.
