ESL Barcelona CS:GO Invitational presented by Mobile World CongressESL Barcelona down to last four
Only four teams remain in the ESL Barcelona Invitational, as Vexed and EnVyUs have been ousted from the competition and Astralis took the first hit at the hands of G2.
In the second half of the day fnatic threw Astralis and Envy into the ring. The two fought on de_mirage for control over the future match-ups, as well as another life.
The Frenchmen began on the Terrorist side and took a solid eight rounds on the offence, but Astralis's response was too much to handle, as the Danes powered to a nearly perfect T side of their own, only conceding a single round throughout the half.

As expected from the Danish coalition, Dignitas were chosen as the next contender alongside Vexed, whom Mathias "MSL" Lauridsen's squad beat yesterday quite confidently 16-7 on de_mirage.
That time it was even more one-sided, as it came down to Dignitas's home map, de_cbble. For the first time in the tournament it was not Markus "Kjaerbye" Kjærbye leading the way but the other young gun, Kristian "k0nfig" Wienecke, who also had a quick spraydown ace during their 12-3 CT side.

Astralis and G2 were up next, once again on de_dust2, where the two already met early on during the first day, and it came down to the last round in the first overtime.
The French-Belgian lineup started off the better that time around, winning 6-0 before Finn "karrigan" Andersen and company replied with two on the back of René "cajunb" Borg's clutch round.
It didn't seem to kickstart the Danes however, as G2 stormed to a 12-3 halftime score as CT. It didn't end as quickly as expected though, as Astralis came back to 13-13 before dropping the ball at the end.

G2 decided to go rogue from that point on, as they pitted alliance members Envy and fnatic up against each other to end the day on a slow, mourning note.
The Frenchmen didn't stand a chance in a match they needed to win to survive, only Dan "apEX" Madesclaire stepped up to the plate on de_train, as EnVyUs quickly started drowning before fnatic put a stop to the suffering at 16-7.
