FACEIT Major New Challengers stage fifth round matchups determined

9-9-2018 00:07

The fifth round matchups, which will be played in best-of-three series, have been determined by the Buchholz seeding system.

Over the course of day four, we saw three teams join Liquid and Ninjas in Pyjamas in the New Legends stage, as Astralis took down Spirit while HellRaisers and Complexity grabbed overtime wins over OpTic and Vega Squadron, respectively, to go 3-1 in the Swiss format.

Three more teams have also been eliminated from the tournament, with Renegades, Gambit, and Rogue going 1-3 after losing their fourth-round matchups.

BIG and OpTic will duke it out for a spot in the New Legends stage in the fifth round

The Buchholz seeding (a sum of opponents' scores) for round five looks as follows:

2-2 pool
1. Vega Squadron (10-5)
2. OpTic (8-6)
3. Spirit (8-8)
4. TYLOO (7-8)
5. BIG (7-9)
6. North (6-9)

That gives us the following matchups for the fifth round, which will be played in best-of-three series on Sunday, with the winners securing the last three spots in the New Legends stage:

11:00 - Spirit vs. TYLOO | BO3
14:00 - OpTic vs. BIG | BO3
17:00 - Vega Squadron vs. North | BO3

Spirit vs. Tyloo is a pass for me

That's fine with me, still their name is BIG not Bug... but maybe I should start call Luminousity Gaming Alcolic Gaming since part of their roster was multiple time drunk on tournaments... especially the core from Immortals. Still i dont do that, bc doing this is just hilouris and it's not changing the facts either.

Spirit < Tyloo Optic > Big Vega < North

optic and big should be pretty close

SPIRIT 4Head 0-3 4Head

Tyloo, Big, and Vega Fuck my pickem needed optic big and North to go through. Know I'm sure North will lose to Vega and we'll sucks optic and big have to play each other :/

Tyloo big north thank me later

What is mean Vega(10-5), Optic(8-6) etc?

It kinda represents the level of opponents each team had. Since BIG and North had easier opponents, their score is lower than the score of Vega, who played Liquid, BIG and Spirit.

oh, ty

Ez BIG

Optic vs BIG = rigged

ez North ez Spirit ez Big

North Vega gonna be interesting OpTic BIG 5overtimes INC TyLoo Spirit lets go TyLuL

TyLoo > Spirit BIG > OpTic North > Vega

its unfortunate that the 2 teams I picked to pass are going up against in the last elimination match, optic vs big. anyway, north and tyloo should win, those are the other ones I've picked to pass.

I still don't get how this system works

2018-09-09 00:36

I mean the reseeding and the scores that put the teams in some kind of order, I don't understand where the score comes from.

2018-09-09 00:38

Take North for example. They played Hellraisers (3 -1 record), Spirit (2 - 2), VP (0 - 3), Rogue (1-3). Sum of the wins of opponents - 6 - and loses - 9 - gives you this 6-9. Then you treat it like a equation 6-9=-3 so they have the worst score of all teams in 5th round. Vega has 10-5=5 so the have the best. So Vega plays North if they didn't play already. The best score plays the worst. Second best plays the second worst and so on if they didn't play already. If they played the best score plays the next worst score who they didn't play already. Round 3/4/5 should be more fair that way in most cases.

2018-09-09 00:58

Nice explanation hope anyone else with the question see this!
