Before entering the week of playing in the group stage of the 2023 Winter Fame and Winter Arena with the top two opponents, V Gaming and Saigon Phantom, GG Live had a great opportunity to accumulate more points when only having to meet the team ranked at the bottom of the chart of the new Gaming elephant. However, Gray and his teammates did not have the beginning as expected.

GGL faced many difficulties before TV in game 1, especially when dragged in the final stage by the good fighting champion of the opponent. In particular, Phoenix has a level of Zata show, causing GGL to constantly lose its main force in key situations. After 30 minutes of struggling, the TV suddenly surpassed in the Bo5 pair.
In game 2, GGL shows the other side when hitting quickly and taking full advantage of the opponent's mistake. In the situation where Rouie of Phoenix put the “god”, GGL immediately punished with a cleaning phase and then won in the 15th minute. By game 3, the two teams “taken to take shredded” extremely attractive. However, GGL is a better team at the decisive moment, plus the excellence of Tama and NTZZ to end the game after more than 17 minutes.
With the spirit of excitement after 2 games, GGL completely strangled the TV in game 4. The pair of assassins Paine in the hands of Gray and Kaine of Tama made Ara have an extremely “miserable” game. The blockade of the opponent, GGL closed the match after less than 14 minutes without losing any pillar.
Backwards defeated the new Gaming with a score of 3-1, GG Live approached the top 2 when there was only 1 point inferior to 1 point. If it could be surprised by this opponent in the week of the group stage, GG Live was enough to capture the second place to create an advantage in the play-off round.
