| Wayi Spider win 3-1 |
Swim 0-2 
Enderr
TJ 2-0
After scoring a Major Win in their season opener, BenQ Mineski looked to further their grasp atop the ladder, as they battled Wayi Spider, a team coming from a nail-biting minor Loss to Xeria Gaming. But in a surprising turn of events, Wayi Spider, the reigning Taiwan eSports League champions, decided to go on full throttle by sending their best korean players against Mineski.
On the other hand, Mineski also chose this week to field their lone foreign player in Azz, who went up against NalZa, who was formerly a player of Dream Team Gaming (dtG). Interesting to note are the facts that Enderr is the only player for BenQ Mineski to secure a series victory, while TJ was the only Taiwanese SC2 pro fielded by Wayi this time around.

| Gama Bears win 3-1 |
Meanwhile, Gama Bears, on of the two other Taiwanese teams in the XGTL, managed to secure their second straight 3-1 Major victory, this time against Australia's Sequential Gaming. Although the first thing that would come into an SC2 fan's mind when hears 'Gama Bears' is Top Taiwanese Zerg Sen, Gama Bears' coach seemed fully confident with the depth of his roster, as he fielded 4 other players to secure not only the victory, but the #1 spot in the XGTL rankings.

The battle between xG and Flash also provided what could be the biggest upset in the league so far, as Flash's Revz, considered to be the top player in the SEA-region, lost his series, 0-2.
