StarSeries quarter-final duels determined

21-2-2018 21:19

After Renegades, Natus Vincere, and mousesports clinched the last three playoffs spots, Starladder drew the quarter-final matchups at the end of day five in Kiev,

Day five in Kiev saw the fifth round matches played. Renegades kicked the day with a 2-0 win versus HellRaisers, which saw Nuke played as the first map, before Natus Vincere beat HEROIC on the back of great play from Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev. At the end of the day, MOUZ grabbed a narrow victory over Cloud9, finalizing the playoffs list.

G2 will rematch mousesports in the quarter-finals

The playoffs draw took place shortly after the last match ended. The 3-0 teams, G2 and FaZe were first drawn up against the 3-2 teams, as the former will face MOUZ while the latter will go up against Renegades.

The remaining 3-2 team, Natus Vincere, was then matched up with Astralis, with SK and Liquid being left as last to finalize the bracket.

The following quarter-finals will take place after a day off on Friday, February 23:

MOUZ	vs. G2
SK	vs. Liquid
Natus Vincere	vs. Astralis
Renegades	vs. FaZe

another FaZe SK final?

FaZe once again getting the easiest route to the final lul Let’s hope SK gets knocked out by G2 on the semis because if that doesn’t happen then you can already hand them the trophy #FaZeUp #NiKoverratedchoker

its going to be fun if renegades stun faze tho xD

How high are you

2018-02-21 21:45

That won’t happen my dude!!!

He said „if“, and it would be really funny tbh xD

2018-02-21 22:27

Praying for that RNG factor :D

2018-02-22 00:09

I was thinking the same

2018-02-21 22:15

After seeing sk's recent performance, i dare say that they stand no chance against faze (or g2) (or liquid)

2018-02-21 23:13

Then Bet against them. I'd love to take ur money :)

2018-02-22 06:18

If SK pass Liquid. Even though I'm a SK fan, after summit, everybody can knockout SK. TACO even used the excuses already, that they are not at their best, blah blah blah.

2018-02-21 23:24

No problem, Liquid will defeat SK.

2018-02-22 04:22

2018-02-22 14:07

At least you got to the quarters, better than anything UK CS has done

I still believe. But not as much as I did before.

ya they could only get faze, g2, sk ast or liquid but i think they would have had a good chance to take out navi or mouse. niiice to jkaem off to a good start with the roster

2018-02-21 21:39

They literally need all things to come up milhouse to win this. Faze needs to have a bad day and renegades need to have all their players doing well. I thibk the only maps they have a chance on are nuke and (maybe) cache.

2018-02-21 22:45

At least they made top8 so feelsgoodman, won't be a shame to loose against Faze

Yeah. I think one day reneagades might have a hot streak and be able to squeeze out a win over faze bot not rigjt now. New player and faze seems to be in top form.

2018-02-21 21:27

poor boys :(

Mouz > G2 55/45 Sk > Liquid 60/40 S1mple > Astralis 60/40 Faze > Renegades 80/20

imo G2 comes stronger in this one. Probably fangay, probably just reasonable.

Kennys and nbk are often out of control on quarter-final , especially when they performed well at group stage . If they can get over it ,G2 will improve a lot

Guess so

2018-02-21 21:44

Same at major quarter final

2018-02-22 21:27

g2 - mouz 50-50

2018-02-21 21:55

2018-02-21 22:55

2018-02-21 22:58

Simple cant carry alone the way he did vs heroic. Someone else needs to help, and astralis should be able to shut them down:)

80/20? U mean RNG stands a 20% chance of beating faze ? Dude it's 95/5 that's the chance RNG got of beating faze

2018-02-22 01:03

G2, SK, Astralis and FaZe. You heard it here first

2018-02-21 21:25

-Astralis +S1mple

2018-02-21 21:28

SK win

sk vs liquid rip sk

2018-02-21 21:59

Imo it should have been sk vs g2 Faze vs liquid Mouz vs renegades Astralis vs navi More interesting matchups..

2018-02-21 22:20

Yeah but I guess that then mouz/renegades and FaZe and astralis get ez deep runs

2018-02-21 22:59

Liquid is still pre good.. they can upset.. they beat sk/c9.. new roster is improved.. Navi vs astralis maube a good match.. Or even faze vs astralis/ navi vs liquid..

2018-02-22 00:23

another? there was like 1 so far ? lol

It's so shit that all TO's do this, it's obvious at this point, they just put SK in one said, FaZe in the other side, they fuck up one bracket and they make it way harder just to have a hype final. Hey, what if you just get them in semis, because maybe c9 fucks your final.

ez for fnatic

Renegades & Na`Vi are through, Cloud9 & Gambit & fnatic are out. What a joke draw it was. RNG vs HR seriously? IEM >>> StarLadder. P.S. Ez for SK.

bro.. fnatic lost to tyloo 2x0

salty na

And now Renegades have drawn FaZe in the qf, calm down.

Bad comment top level nickname

Retard? Renegades beat Fnatic and HR beat Gambit ...

But navi is playing better than gambit and fnatic. Still pretty sad that renegades got trough instead of C9 tho.

fnatic LUL Golden's "strats" have run through their honeymoon. Expect the team to suck for six months before they drop him.

still renegades better than your fav team lul

10 iq

0/8

For cloud9 there is a case but gambit and fnatic definitely didnt deserve to make the qf. Fnatic got 2-0d by tyloo and rng and gambit lost to hr who rng beat...

2018-02-21 22:22

Nice #VaMouz

Rip

Well shit... Renegades are screwed.

Yeah. Stupid system for brackets. It was either FaZe or G2. Hopefully somehow faze dont play their game and jkaem steps up again.

Looking forward to the Nifty vs Karrigan match up though.

Izi for sk

shit duels

Yeah where tf is c9 U L T R A O M E G A L U L

ez 4 crispJ

thats a good question ^ ^

2018-02-21 21:31

Sk Navi is going to be a good one

No way navi beat astralis lul

2018-02-21 22:17

PogChamp

G2, Liquid, Astralis, Faze to semis.

I would be concerned about the G2 one, Mouz will be pumped up from todays match when on the other side G2 didn't play any match today. They could be more fresh tho

LUL G2 on their own admittance " aren't morning people ", they lose a LOT of their morning matches.. And it's not like the first showdown wan't close ... This one is basically 50/50

That's why I say i'm concerned about that tip lol

2018-02-22 05:18

Cloud9 - fnatic Grand Final 4 sure ... Oh wait

cause he sucks

2018-02-22 04:23

If we were still in 2017 he carried them to their best result

EZ for liquid lmao

G2 sk navi faze

SK NAVI G2 FAZE BEST SEMIFINAL MATCHS

ez FAZEE

faze always lucky

Rip Faze g2 liquid astralis renegades ez

rigged af, it wasnt drawning, shame on sltv

80/20 ? really?

g2 55/45*

Astralis 75-25 navi

2018-02-21 22:18

WTF faze fucking lucky kys

2 amazing matches and 2 where we know the outcome, im liking the possible semis

Mouse sk astralis faze

Fixed obviously NaVi playing a 3-1 team Astralis and not a 3-0 one :D

Mouz vs G2 and NaVi vs Astralis are the two uncertain ones imo (even though I could see Liquid winning , but it's like 20% chance )

sk, faze, mouz, ast.

Would be the dream

2018-02-21 21:57

would be sick if mouz could beat g2

1/4 mouz > G2 Liquid < SK Na`Vi < Astralis FaZe > Renegades 1/2 mouz < SK Astralis > FaZe 1/1 SK > Astralis

Navi win vs Astralis and Astralis plays the semi finals vs Faze?

mouz>sk faze>astralis faze>mouz logical tbh

Steelega vs boltalha

R.I.P Renegades

faze always lucky mouz have to beat top5 teams throughout the series

mousesports vs G2 should be like in the groups,a good match,but i'd slightly favor mouz SK vs liquid should be really good as well,maybe liquid has a small edge cuz of their recent meetings na'vi vs astralis should be favoired to the latter but if na'vi plays like against faze(and not like against heroic and sk) they have a really decent shot at it,astralis is still a very new team easiest semis for faze

Mouz > G2 Sk > Liquid S1mple < Astralis Faze >>>> Renegades Mouz > SK Faze > Astralis Faze > Budget Faze if multi million dollar plastic team can´t win this event they should just disband. thats a free trophy

Guy doesnt even mixed the balls before picking it... rigged

man ez for ast

Liquid vs Renegades finals please.

G2 > Mouz Liquid > SK Astralis > S1mple Renegades > FaZe

Ez for Renegades

Probable outcomes: G2 > Mouz SK > Liquid Astralis > Navi FaZe > Renegades Dangerous yet possible: Mouz > G2 Liquid > SK (most likely 2-1 in overtime if it happens)

Renegades vs Liquid Final Kappa

2018-02-21 21:34

GO NAVI GO MOUZ GO RENEGADES GO G2 (LIQUID, faze)

2018-02-21 21:35

G2 > Mosesports SK > Liquid Astralis < Na'Vi FaZe > Renegades G2 < SK FaZe > Na'Vi SK > FaZe

Actually Mouz > G2 Mouz is in good form right now..

2018-02-21 22:06

G2 wins vs mouz then sk then faZe ez

poor renegades ;_;

2018-02-21 21:43

absolutly rigged by the draft´. First he says "i am here because some people got rigged..." Then he didnt shuffle just pick... are u kidding me? that is rigged as fuck.

Cry more plz

2018-02-21 21:49

Do you work for the russians?

i feel like pala was rly nervous and didnt think about shuffeling but tbh the matchups are pretty nice even if they were rigged idc

rigged? look at lucky faze and g2... jesus

u never know what goals they have. So you cant rate this

so maybe it's not rigged when you can say nothing bad about it? you can't say that it's useful for Na`Vi... facing Astralis jesus. if it was rigged then Na`Vi would play vs Renegades or mouz.

you can say ever it is rigged, because he didnt do the basic things at every draft.... shuffle

Nooooooooooooo SK vs Liquid ;_; My brain says SK my heart says Liquid My dick says FaZe tho

i think the 1st 3 games are gonna be good, rng vs faze ResidentSleeper

Mouz, liquid, NaVi, FaZe

f*cking luckers FaZe and G2

mousesports > G2 SK > Liquid S1mple > Astralis Renegades < FaZe

fudeu

G2 > Mouz SK = Liquid ( lot of times sk loose To liquid ) Astralis > Navi Faze > Renegades

but the truth is: G2 ? mouz SK > Liquid Astralis ??? Na`Vi FaZe > Renegades

USTILO ez

g2 x ast calling it now

FaZe with the easiest draw again. Color me surprised.

2018-02-21 22:05

G2>mouz Sk>Liquid Astralis>Navi Faze>Renegades

Mouz < G2 Sk > Liquid Astralis > NaVi Renegades < FaZe Sk > G2 Astralis > FaZe Sk < Astralis Ez for Astralis !!

unexpected: Astralis > NaVi Astralis > FaZe Sk < Astralis

2018-02-21 23:30

Dayum, will be hard for mouse :-( sk and faze highway to semifinals

2018-02-21 22:48

I already feel bad for renegades

2018-02-21 22:49

Of course of all fucking teams Renegades get the hardest one possible. Well at least they made it this far...

Go mouz #aufgehts

2018-02-21 23:00

if flamie and electronic can frag that'll be an interesting matchup, home crowd will probably help too similar to c9 major home crowd

2018-02-21 23:05

SK once again always have the easiest route to the finals, most overrated team/players in history of csgo.

2018-02-21 23:14

Come on mouz. Prove that you are able to learn from your mistakes and take revenge!

2018-02-21 23:32

Let’s go FaZe with the easy draw!

2018-02-21 23:47

Go Navi and by saying thus i mean s1mple get your 30 Frags every map Mouz Navi final?? Dreamin

2018-02-21 23:48

ez predictions for you guys so you make some money: Mouz 2/0 G2 SK 2/1 Liquid Astralis 2/1 NA'vi FAZE 2/0 RNG enjoy

2018-02-21 23:49

Didn't mouz just choke against G2? lul 2-0 close match to G2 2-1 Liquid close matches 2-1 Astralis 2-0 FaZe

2018-02-22 17:39

G2 2-1 SK 2-0 NAVI 2-1 FAZE 2-0

G2 vs Astralis Final, or G2 vs FaZe. Sad SK fan.

2018-02-21 23:59

Na`Vi have beaten Astralis on pracs many times. Good chances to go 2:1 here.

2018-02-22 00:49

proof ?

2018-02-22 01:28

heard it few times on na`vi vlogs. But it was with an old line-up before the major :D

2018-02-22 01:29

Doesn't mean a lot since astralis just swapped roles back

2018-02-22 01:32

renegades liquid final?

2018-02-22 02:01

Sk vs Faze again

2018-02-22 02:26

Grand Final: Mouz vs Astralis

2018-02-22 02:30

Unlucky Draw for the Boys, not expecting anything huge from the Renegades, but if we can MAYBE (about 25% chance of this happening anyway) get a map off Faze, or get at least 10 rounds in each map, we can say that was a good performance against a tier 1 team at a tier 1 tournament. With the form Ustilo, Jks and Jkaem are in we can give Faze a scare and rack up at least 10-13 rounds on a good map for us, if Azr and Nifty can step up like they did against Tyloo (Azr) and HR (Nifty), then i can definately see the boys give them a run for their money. TL;DR: Faze 2-0 (Faze 2-1 of the boys are in peak)

2018-02-22 03:36

nah mate too ez for the boys, got this one in the bag

2018-02-22 04:00

Ofc Lucky Clan got another lucky draw xd
