Cross-checked against Liquipedia and esportsearnings: the winner, the full podium, the MVP, the dates, and the prize split all match. Liquipedia publishes day totals rather than match-by-match winners, so the schedule keeps the two matchdays without invented per-match results.

Team XO, Team NUBB and Global Esports each missed a single match during the event, while Marcos Gaming missed all of its day two matches.
