Liverpool look the team to beat in the ePremier League Grand Finals after the 2018/19 champion Tekkz led them to a perfect record in the group stage.
The Reds won all four of their matches, the only team to do so, with Tekkz and Diogo finishing a flawless day with a 7-0 aggregate win over defending ePL champions Manchester City, who crashed out as the only side without a single point.

The pair's reward for their success in Group B is a quarter-final tie against Group C runners-up Crystal Palace.
Sunday's quarter-finals
Brentford v Aston Villa
Liverpool v Crystal Palace
Leeds v Everton
Norwich v Chelsea
Last season’s ePL runner-up Ollelito did the lion’s share of the work to send Leeds United into the knockout stages as Group C winners.
He beat Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Joey 4-0 on Xbox, taking the pressure off his team-mate MHaywxrd, who won 2-0 in the second leg on Playstation 5 in Saturday's final round of group-stage matches.
That took Leeds above Crystal Palace on goal difference, with nine points each, while Southampton finished just short with seven points after drawing 4-4 with Manchester United in their final match.
Everton secured the runner-up spot in Group B as their pursuers Burnley lost their match in hand, suffering a 4-1 defeat against Leicester City, with Painter winning the first leg 3-1 for the Foxes.
Bees are buzzing
In Group A, ePL new boys Brentford won their top-of-the-table duel with London rivals Chelsea to secure top spot.
SamBrwster won the first leg 3-0 for the Bees and, although Chelsea’s Stingrayjnr battled back and took the second leg 3-1, czohino’s solitary strike in that match secured a 4-3 aggregate victory.
