The first day of play at the MLG Columbus Major wrapped up tonight at the MLG Arena with every team in the competition playing their opener. Here are the best photos from the second half of the day.

The afternoon started with CLG beating Envy, the first of two French teams to fall today, with a 16-8 final score on de_cobblestone. The second Group C match saw the Danes from Astralis take down Gambit on the first of three back-to-back Train maps in the last matches of the day.

Group D pitted the last North American team, Cloud9, against Natus Vincere who went on to take the map 16-9 despite starting with a 6-0 deficit. Last but not least was the return of the plow as Virtus.pro only gave up a single round to G2 in the day's closer.
