25-1-2017 02:26

As the third round of the Swiss format came to a close in Atlanta, ELEAGUE have drawn the match-ups of the fourth round, which will see three more teams advance and three teams get eliminated.

Day three of play at the ELEAGUE Major saw Virtus.pro and Natus Vincere advancing to playoffs with a perfect record, while HellRaisers and FlipSid3 exited the competition in last place.

Astralis will face SK for a spot in the playoffs

Tomorrow the remaining two rounds will be played, with the fourth deciding three more playoffs teams as well as three eliminated teams.

Here are the match-ups of the fourth round:

16:00	North	vs. G2	*
17:15	Envy	vs. fnatic	**
18:30	MOUZ	vs. Liquid	*
19:45	GODSENT	vs. OpTic	*
21:00	SK	vs. Astralis	**
22:15	Gambit	vs. FaZe	**

* Loser gets eliminated in groups with a 1-3 record
** Winner advances to playoffs with a 3-1 record

good matches coming up! none of these matches are one sided SK vs Astralis looks to be exciting

well they have more chances to win vs astralis than vs navi.. picking dust2 was one very bad decision LOL

SK really only have 4 players 1 bot, so 4v5.

Fallen < fox?

2017-01-25 07:45

Well they didn't "pick" dust2 they just didn't banned it. Maybe an overpass would be more even, although I think SK would lose anyway.

dust2 is a well known map from navi, doesnt make sense keeping it. would be even better letting nuke (unless they really didnt play it at all... but im pretty sure navi sucks ass at nuke). banning mirage was a huge miistake, same for nuke. they would have made navi chose beteween banning mirage/train/OP or nuke. No1 knows if SK is good at nuke or not (same for navi) it would be a risk. But since "old" cs go times , players from this navi set up are known to be shit in nuke. Why not risk?

2017-01-25 18:38

I agree that SK shouldn`t have banned nuke, Na`vi would ban it probably letting train go through.

2017-01-25 18:42

pretty risky bet on SK , i cheer for SK , gave them a vote of confidence vs Navi today , they got totally rapped , just proved that my concerns were right , team is not ready , they wont win this major unless we see huge individual plays. if i had to bet i'd go for astralis, but i hope im wrong xD

2017-01-25 02:42

2017-01-25 02:54

this, but i think the closest match will be gambit vs faze

A lot of close matches this day, but imo the closest one will be SK vs. Astralis

im going for envy vs astralis

2017-01-25 02:39

Well actually watching this series of Liquid, I would bet that the closest match will be Liquid vs Mousesports

2017-01-25 04:28

North vs G2 nV vs fnatic Mouz vs Liquid GODSENT vs Optic SK vs Astralis Gambit vs FaZe IMO

at least we tried...

2017-01-26 17:20

Yeah... I hope Godsent won't change players

2017-01-26 20:43

They are rising now. dont think they gonna do that. Only if they want to move pronax to coach and bring some other player.

2017-01-26 22:48

i think sk nV and gambit will lose it

2017-01-25 03:46

2017-01-25 03:51

you've got to be mental to think that SK will win

they will!

No, remember they have fox XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD #RUNAST

2017-01-25 03:37

HAHAHHAHA If you watched today's game it was pretty clear that fox was not the problem. I think it's hard to win from astralis, but then imo depends the map, I truely believe that is going to be train( again for astralis) and it might go to 3-1 Astralis and 2-2 SK

2017-01-25 04:30

When SK gets beaten out of the tournament they will most likely say that "..Fox wasn't our fully player, he was a stand-in so it was really hard for us to have the synergy that [team that beat SK] has, I think they will go and win the major." True though, SK's problems lies with TACO, fox and FalleN

2017-01-25 15:06

Yes my friend I agree with you,

2017-01-25 18:45

Not your friend, mate.

2017-01-25 20:46

you're silly EZ FOR: NiP, Cloud9, CLG, Immortals, Renegades

2017-01-25 03:12

astralis g2 NV liquid OpTiC Gambit

2017-01-25 09:29

Yes gambit looked really good but i still think faze takes this one

2017-01-25 09:58

Thankfully, according to your predictions in relation to recent results, Team Liquid will win against mousesports. Thank you sir.

2017-01-25 19:04

Nice pics so far. You trying to go 0-6?

2017-01-25 19:40

lol NA u better stfu tbh =]

2017-01-25 20:50

nice

2017-01-25 02:26

You said d originally

yeah because i was hyped for godsent to get the d from optic :D

You are a dick originally

North EnVyUs Mous (but i prefer liquid) OpTic SK Gambit Check this tomorrow after all

2017-01-25 04:03

2017-01-25 12:17

gl to all teams

2017-01-25 09:56

North, fnatic, mousesports, godsent, astralis, gambit

Replace liquid and Faze and mayb 100%

2017-01-25 02:52

ez optic and liquid

Some teams are continuously getting lucky/unlucky. Fnatic has been VERY lucky. G2 has been VERY unlucky. SK could get fucked here too. Someone is going to have to face Astralis/SK in elimination...tough luck. So happy liquid and optic ended up with good draws again. My picks are North Fnatic Liquid OpTic Astralis FaZe All of these games could go either way though, with optic game being the most one sided but still not by much especially considering bad form against f3.

pretty nice analise

2017-01-25 02:33

I'd pick the same besides Faze Gambit which is really open

2017-01-25 02:38

faze always last

rip g2

22 replies

rip north you mean. they almost lost to hellraisers. do you think there's still a chance

20 replies

north raped g2 on qualifiers

this is major, not qualifiers. north has been demonstrating their choke side. accept it

18 replies

yeah, because g2 have a really good history for being legends at every major /s

17 replies

so have dignitas

16 replies

so its a 50/50 but north have been beating g2 quite often on lan lately

15 replies

but their latest games have proven different. I bet on the pick'em challenge both of them were going to pass, but g2 only got hard opponents. north's opponents were kinda easy tbh

2017-01-25 02:36

yeah but you cant say that they will lose to g2 only because they played bad vs HR... this kinda of logic doesnt exist

2017-01-25 02:37

if g2 bans train-nuke i think they will past them

I think G2's nuke is better than north's

they lost to north 3 times in a row on nuke

2017-01-25 02:41

lol. didn't know about that

watch their 10 last games head to head but it will be an close and beautifull match here i guess

2017-01-25 02:44

g2 has to ban cobble and train... nuke is always a clownfiesta, the team who make less mistakes wins

dignitas is good on train and wins 3 times against g2

wtf? train is dignitas permaban.

2017-01-25 02:50

Dig have 2 perma bans, i believe they are train and nuke. They change bans depending on the oponent. Id say they will ban nuke due to g2 playing vp close on nuke

2017-01-25 03:32

Train and Cache

Train is one of G2s best maps if not their best map.

2017-01-25 15:30

I think nuke is

2017-01-25 16:05

Still I don't see them banning train

2017-01-25 16:08

u really believe in noobth?

ez for astralis

liquid are so lucky

+1 They have only gotten one good-ish opponent.. Rigged.

Well you generally face worse teams in the lower part of the bracket and drawing FaZe at 1-1 isn't very lucky

fnatic just as lucky

sk vs astralis. fuck.

bye godsent

Fucking hard 4 SK

OUT IN GROUPS ELEGIGGLE

2017-01-25 02:35

BRAZILIANS NEVER GIVE UP #RUNSK

feels bad for them

axaxaxaxaxa

See you tomorrow

#RUNSK TO THE THIRD MAJOR

2017-01-25 22:28

go SK.

g2 vs north god damn

G2, EnVy, Liquid, Godsent, Astralis, FaZe

lul SK will be 2-2 then 2-3

well hopefully,but who would they face as 2-2?

Best possible draw for fnatic and godsent lul

G2 FNC Mouz Godsent Astralis Faze/Gambit,really depends a lot on the map.

North. NV, Liquid, Optic, Gambit, Astralis

oh boy

Astralis vs SK. Two best 2-1 teams playing each other

SK is far from being the fav to win the tournament,luckly faze choked,they got rekt as fuck by navi,they won against HR on mirage(which is wrost map of hr)

I never said SK were favourite to win the major though. I just think this match up is the hardest one that could have been drawn.

Not nessesary,fnatic and gambit would have quite an fair chance to beat them aswell.

I won't deny that. SK's communication has been surprisingly poor and Fallen is under performing.

Fallen's without awp,and most probably,SK might go out in group stages actually.

Its a serious possibility since there are teams like G2, North and Optic in 1-2. I would prefer to see Fallen awping rather than Fox but Fox isn't comfortable with rifle. Shame really.

2017-01-25 02:43

nV & Mouz qualifing to Major by beating, Vega, Spirit & Tyloo/ Mouz beating a sleeping IMT. Now their wins comes from: nV: SHITSENT & Trashquid and facing shitty fnatic MOuz: HR, facing Liquid. GG

If EnVyUs make it to the playoffs, thats good because the French super-team will have Legends status for the next Major. Nobody gives a shit about G2's fate, though I feel bad about their hard draws.

2017-01-25 08:45

5/6... not bad

2017-01-26 02:24

close one

2017-01-26 17:21

G2 Envyus Liquid Optic SK FaZe

liquid vs mouse... rigged

NV vs. fnatic ARE U KIDDING ME one team will likely disappear after reshuffle, the other didnt even prepare for the major, and one of them will make it to the play-offs. wtf

If they shuffle, Envy's 3 members will be in that team. So, whatever their team is, they will be Legend in the next major. :)

can someone just knock liquid out already? jesus christ

gambit road from 2:0 to 2:3 officially begin and yes swiss format is ultra shit

Funny how people were praising the system before.

Gambit vs FaZe please Gambit win this

goodbye optic! don't let the door to the major hit you on the way out!

NaVi.... now ASTRALIS?!?! Why not EnvyUs, Fnatic or Gambit? Cmon ELEAGUE :(

Because nV are the luckiest fags in the entire planet when it comes to draws.

yup.. they run on the Minor was ridiculous... :[

2017-01-25 02:46

>Envyus >minor Pick one.

2017-01-25 05:04

Better than groups of death where 2 teams that would normally get out in Swiss system don't.

2017-01-25 15:34

LOL SK V ASTRALIS RIP ASTRALIS THO

Not really. Ast 16x8 SK on Train.

2017-01-25 04:26

Envy Faze road to legend status beating giants as -TL -Godsent -Flipside manewhile Astralis SK matchups all teams from TOP10 (at least on paper) Astralis: -navi -G2 -Optic SK: -navi -astralis -faze cant imagine that situations in old GSL group format wiki.teamliquid.net/counterstrike/ELEAGU..

2017-01-25 02:45

FaZe and EnVyUs were 1-1 so it is rather hard to face SK, Na`Vi or VP because those teams were 2-0 at least we don't see mouz or gambit fluking two bo1's and going to playoffs also, astralis played GODSENT, OpTic and G2 SK played HR, FaZe and Na`Vi

2017-01-25 02:53

North Envy Liquid Optic SK Faze

Some exciting matches. North vs. G2 EnVyUs vs. fnatic mousesports vs. Liquid GODSENT vs. OpTic SK vs. Astralis Gambit vs. FaZe

all exciting matches end when VP Navi secure izi 3:0 now only playing losers

2017-01-25 02:47

Both NaVi and VP looks really strong this major. But VP had two close games against Optic and G2.

you are right VP play against 10x better teams than navi (at least using HLTV rank) VP never be give more than 0x rounds to trashers what face navi

VP joke, gym boy

What are you even talking about VP and NAVI dont play 2morrow

2017-01-25 03:01

North > G2 fnatic > EnVyUS mouz > Liquid OpTic > GODSENT Astralis > SK FaZe > Gambit then North > mouz, SK > OpTic, Gambit > EnVyUS

Alright so north,g2,mouz,liguid,godsent,and optic are all 1 and 2. Sk,astralis,gambit, and faze are 2 and 1.

Good Job Mr. Sherlock

2017-01-25 05:07

Im hoping for North vs. G2 EnVyUs vs. fnatic mousesports vs. Liquid GODSENT vs. OpTic SK vs. Astralis Gambit vs. FaZe

2017-01-25 02:49

Fuck i was rooting for Faze and Gambit. I hope Faze wins then Gambits win Round 5

Sad to see SK falling apart like this. Confidence has always been an issue for brazilian players and athletes. Fallen was someone I had never seen underperform. Ever (and I'm including him at 1.6). Now, after finally being chosen as the #2 player of the world, he plays like a potato. He has to get his sh#t together as fast as he can.

1.G2 vs *North* 2. *EnVyUs* vs FnaTEC 3. Mousesports vs *Team Liquid* 4. BOTSENT vs *OpTic* 5. *SK* vs Astralis 6. *Gambit GAYming* vs FaZe So ez 6/6

2017-01-25 03:14

**-winners*

WE COD BOYS NOW EZ OPTIC EZ FAZE xX420NOSCOPE360URMOM69Xx

2017-01-25 03:22

10$ on sk because of the odds. not really sure. they always do an impossible map against Astralis. normally because of devCHOKEice.

2017-01-25 03:29

When was the last time device choked lol? And when was the last time he wasn't the reason that they were in a position for it to matter if he choked.

2017-01-25 15:40

Astralis are playing well because ir him. If he doesn't show up they will lose

2017-01-25 19:52

You can't put the entire teams success on him, that's entirely unfair. He hasn't choked in a while and the last time he supposedly did it was only by his merit that they were even that far in the tourney anyway.

2017-01-25 19:53

G2 fnatic mousesports OpTic SK Gambit

2017-01-25 04:50

17:15 EnVyUs vs. fnatic * Winner advances to playoffs WTF this is RIGGED AF...

2017-01-25 05:43

Uh, no?

yeah i know xD just pissed off about my pick em

2017-01-25 15:41

Should have picked Na'vi and F3 like a sane person

2017-01-25 15:55

I picked navi as 3-0 but cant pick any CIS team as 0-3 cuz i always cheer for them. Other 7 would be decent if not this match-up (i picked none of these preshuffle teams so 1 more wrong pick for me xD)

2017-01-25 15:59

I picked nV over North and the rest were pretty standard, although I'm just as biased as you are because i love nV and the french scene in general. Astralis SK VP nV Gambit Faze Fnc.

2017-01-25 16:02

Envy vs Fnatic nooo this matchup is gonna fuck pick up so much. Fuck this rng fiesta

2017-01-25 07:19

Unless shox & ScreaM show up : North will win. For the other matchups : - fnatic (if the guys from fnatic show up and stop doing shit) - Liquid - OpTic - Astralis - Gambit

2017-01-25 09:31

What's amazing about this day is that every match can go either way (except Astralis vs SK maybe, cant see SK winning). Dont bet my house on any of the other matchups.
