FACEIT Major New Legends stage round four matchups set

14-9-2018 23:03

After day three at the Twickenham stadium came to an end, the matchups of the fourth round were set by the Buchholz seeding system.

The third round of the Swiss format saw Complexity complete their surprising run with a convincing victory over BIG on Nuke, cementing their place in the playoffs with a 3-0 record.

Liquid joined them at the top after a nail-biting Inferno against Astralis, in which each side grabbed 13 rounds on the Terrorist side before the North American side locked down the match in overtime.

Astralis will go toe-to-toe with MIBR for a spot in the playoffs

Meanwhile, Winstrike and MOUZ have now exited the competition and will have to go through the Minor system ahead of the next Major, IEM Katowice, as they lost to Cloud9 and FaZe, respectively, to go 0-3 in the New Legends stage.

The Buchholz system produced the following seeds going into round four:

2-1 pool
1.

Astralis (6-3)
2.

BIG (5-4)
3-4.

fnatic (4-5)
3-4.

Natus Vincere (4-5)
5.

HellRaisers (3-6)
6.

MIBR (2-7)

1-2 pool
1.

G2 (7-2)
2.

TYLOO (6-3)
3-4.

Vega Squadron (5-4)
3-4.

Ninjas in Pyjamas (5-4)
5.

FaZe (4-5)
6.

Cloud9 (3-6)

As previous encounters did not collide with the seeding, the following matchups will be played in round four:

2-1 pool
Astralis vs. MIBR
BIG vs. HellRaisers
fnatic vs. Natus Vincere

1-2 pool
G2 vs. Cloud9
TYLOO vs. FaZe
Vega Squadron vs. Ninjas in Pyjamas

RIP MIBR !!! RIP NIP !!! RIP DRAKEN OMEGALUL

2018-09-14 23:45

they always got the easiest matchs

6 replies

yeah faze as the first match was of course the easiest, sure there buddy

5 replies

Faze eliminated tomorrow

2018-09-15 03:23

you think play against faze was hard?

2018-09-15 03:57

How was faze not easy?they have been performing badly since these few months

2018-09-15 04:44

Either you look at it if they had big teams or you look at it if they had teams with good tournament performance. They y didnt have it easy no matter how you look at it. You guys just dont see that the 'big' teams just all played trash amd the most difficult teams to play against were the challengers

2018-09-15 14:09

whatever big highest moment was defeting sk in a bo1 and in 2 days they got destroy by the best team in the world, also knowed as immortals

2018-09-16 09:51

they'll go 2-2 to make it 3-2 in the next round - against FaZe! ;)

They already played vs FaZe, german brain

2018-09-15 11:23

Is "German brain" supposed to be racist?

2018-09-17 00:12

Prob not, since Big are so fucking lucky with the draws.

talk about coL lul

2018-09-15 00:15

Yes same for them, but they defeated you, so..

2018-09-15 16:07

Will be funny If Astralis lose

2018-09-15 00:09

vega nip

This disgusting garbage team called bug again gets the easiest opponent. What a joke.

NT but first they got faze where Veto Master karrigan went for Dust II, then they would have gotten mibr(flaire checks out) but no, they got the team that won against your favorite team. if big always gets the easiest team doesn't that then mean mibr is garbage and the easiest draw, if even the team that won against them is so easy.

2018-09-14 23:14

Flag checks out..

2018-09-14 23:19

Nice arguments as expected from brazil lulululul. Can't even see that mibr had easiest route

2018-09-14 23:24

They got easy mathups since the challengers stage, and lost some, as also mibr got with tyloo, but only once, and now they are facing the top1, ez4jumpbug

2018-09-14 23:36

They also made a stupid veto choice fighting Tyloo on their best map by far...

RIP NIP ? Oh my friend, you will see the difference now between nip and other teams who VG faced. Nip will go on 2-2 so ez

2018-09-14 23:44

do you know the history between both teams?

2018-09-14 23:55

you mean nip history? because VG got no history my friend. But if you are talking for just 1 game, yes i know it. If you remember that 16-2, then i know your nightmare is 87-0 !!!

2018-09-15 00:25

i like NIP but VEGA will rek them

2018-09-15 00:33

Yes, it will be ez...to MIBR

Vega > NiP ez though lmao

Why u hate nip they are ok

even if I didn't hate NiP I've liked Vega since 2015

Ok that explains it

2018-09-14 23:07

Interesting since they joined 2016-11-17.

That was the second time they joined, they were originally with vega in 2015 and then they got dropped, they got picked back up after qualifying for the eleague major qualifier.

2018-09-14 23:09

Oh alright, all good :)

2018-09-14 23:10

Buddy he is saying NiP will win

2018-09-14 23:25

Astralis > MIBR BIG > HR NaVi > Fnatic G2 > C9 Tyloo > FaZe Vega > NiP

10 replies

Tyloo better than Faze? Fuck off cunt

FaZe have looked like shit all major, only win they got was thanks to everyone on mouz wanting sunny to commit suicide

So have Tyloo? Theyve had one good half all tournament. And tyloo play into fazes style and also have a weaker map pool, it's pretty likely they'll be forced onto an overpass or train and get stomped.

Yeah until karrigan does his best Xizt impersonation during the vetoes and they end up on inferno, they should win this pretty convincingly.. Not to mention Tyloo seem to struggle against top tier team who can hit their shots and study them. They have been figured out imo.. This isn't the qualifier anymore

2018-09-14 23:51

Stay off inferno, stay off mirage and they basically win for free. Tyloo play an aggressive aim based style and Faze simply have better aimers and better comms. Xccurate has also been a saving grace for them and Faze has multiple AWPers who can shut him down. I really don't see what tyloo can do if Faze plays like they did today vs mouz.

2018-09-15 00:11

Tylul?)) Xdxdxd so ez for niko

Exact opp except astralis navi

when you drink alot of cocacola LUL better to keep watching na t2 cs kid

MIBR WILL 16-0 ASTRALIS AND ASTRALIS WILL LOSE TO NIP WITH DOUBLE 16-0 IN ROUND FIVE

2-2 faze nice!

please astralis. mibr might be trash, but underperforming vs them can still cost you hard

Lul

2018-09-14 23:12

Trash ? You should be less arrogant especially since Astralis seems to be losing speed at the worst moment and MiBR are on the raise.. This will be no walk in the park, especially after losing a match, they'll be under pressure and we know how devve reacts to that..

2018-09-14 23:18

2-2 match MIBR vs FaZe

Honestly this tournament is a joke.. Some team will make it to playoff having faced only awful teams, and some other will have faced half ot the top 10..

Such as?

2018-09-14 23:31

Complexity havent met the hardest, the hardest one in my eyes was big.

2018-09-14 23:41

Astralis matched with NaVi ( #2 ), Liquid ( #3 ), MiBR ( #7 ] and maybe another one if they lose ? ( FaZe ? NiP ?? ) FaZe met BIG (9), NaVi (2), Mouz (4) Mouz got eliminated facing NiP, MiBR and FaZe.. CoL qualified beating BIG G2 and fnatic..

2018-09-14 23:53

+1 Im so sad

2018-09-15 00:08

Haven't you checked Twitter recently? Na'Vi vs Fnatic is gonna be fun because of Draken and S1mple.

Astralis Hellraisers Navi G2 Faze Nip

It should be an ez 3-1 for Na'Vi.I also hope HR will win too,BIG is better i'd say but they definetly have a chance.

Fuuuuuuck

Fuck is right

2018-09-15 09:12

all games 50-50% impossible to predict

HR can win Big ez....

Can someone explain to me what are the numbers near each tag ? 4-5? 7-2?

That's the current cumulative record of the team they faced, i.e. G2 faced a team that is 3-0 and two teams that are 2-1 = 7-2 Team who fought the harder opposition are matched with teams who matched the weakest one ( that's a system of seeding to guarantee you don't end up only facing uberstrong teams )

i still dont understand lul

Expected from a MIBR fan

2018-09-14 23:52

im braindead, sorry

Haha

2018-09-15 02:45

ok i get it thanks mate

2018-09-15 13:16

tomorrow - Vega Squadron - TYLOO - Cloud9

2018-09-14 23:11

Round 5 is gonna be crazy..

Someone can explain this seeding system to me?

See #128

Thank-you :D

2018-09-14 23:17

"the matchups of the fourth round were set by the Buchholz seeding system." FUCK U FACEIT!

I said it countless times, BuSHITS system strikes again. We have Astralis vs MIBR and.... BIG vs Hellraisers

no draw ... match just for views in twitch.tv, shit faceit, its more important ...

2018-09-14 23:26

i dont understand this system... can anyone explain me?

See #128 Teams are seeded in regard to the cumulative record of the opposition they faced.. Once seeded the #1 team faced the last etc, #2 vs #4 etc

2018-09-14 23:16

2-2 match up of Faze and MiBR plzzzz since we couldnt get the c9 v faze rematch, lets get it with the other c9 players

Rip tyloo Sad

Take my energy MiBR =D

RIP NIP RIP FAZE

G2 vs C9 will be amazing to watch. GN3 NA lvl CS + Shox.

It will most likely be the clownfiesta of the day

RIp tyloo.. hoped they would get to legends stag:(

2018-09-14 23:21

ez fnx

2018-09-14 23:23

Honestly.. this butchholtz system is the worst i've ever seen Bug again getting lucky

vega knocking out nip from the major again and i will give up on nip, theres no comeback from that, if nip doesnt reach playoffs, its over, for real

Well vega is a pretty good team. I wont be surprized if they win here

2018-09-14 23:37

why mibr always get astralis. like, other teams don't exist? i bet this thing is rigged af tired of seeing mibr x astralis matches

2018-09-14 23:27

shouldn't have lost to tyloo then

2018-09-15 07:18

Yeah, too bad for MiBR, they'll be destroyed now.

2018-09-15 09:08

wts wrong with these matchups now? btw nip vega flashbacks anyone?

2018-09-14 23:32

ez for MIBR as always one more playoffs, suck that pale eu fags LULLL

2018-09-14 23:33

mibr i love you revenge is coming

Vega vs NiP G2 vs C9 I have seen this somewhere..

2018-09-14 23:38

NiP magic all the way to quarter finals, and becoming new legends! (In my dreams.)

2018-09-14 23:43

Idioten, what's wrong with ur face? Ez4CIS

finally not rigged for fnatic LUL 2-3 inc LUL

Rip MiBR

Finally NiP will face a team under top5 ! ez 2-2 #gonip

2018-09-14 23:46

Yeah. And look at the teams Complexity had to beat on both Challenger and Legend stage. All easy teams besides Astralis to whom they lost.

2018-09-15 09:04

i didnt say anything for other teams my friend but you know that every team in this event will be "hard" for coL as they are "new" team on that level. But for NiP .. vs mouz,liquid & navi ? its too hard. The same goes for Navi too, they face astralis,faze,nip and now are on the same level (2-1) with fnatic who face winstrike !!!

2018-09-15 11:04

I agree. My point was only that - although i generally like the Swiss system - that it potentially opens the door for some teams getting through easily while others have a much more hard time. Especially with two rounds of it. NIP has been unlucky while Complexity has been lucky, relatively speaking.

2018-09-15 12:31

if g2 lose against c9 I think I uninstall hltv and csgo from my computer

Why? Ru on hltv and cs go only cuz of g2? LUL

2018-09-15 01:00

Its 50/50

2018-09-15 05:34

Big get the easy again wtf

2018-09-14 23:57

2018-09-15 00:35

I can't wait for these BO1s to be over. I'm so over watching everyone playing Inferno all the time.

2018-09-15 01:01

Let’s go Astralis!

2018-09-15 01:09

G2 lul

2018-09-15 01:27

Tyloo ;( Will not make through Faze. All aimers in Faze’s team and even broader map pools. Tyloo should play more maps and practice English more.

2018-09-15 01:28

Hope faze stick with their ego letting inferno or mirage slip through, so that tyloo will have slim chance 🤣🤣 30/70 to tyloo..

2018-09-15 02:49

Wait when did faze pick up guardian and olofmister?

2018-09-15 01:46

like after last year's PGL Krakow Major?

2018-09-15 03:41

I thought they picked up Biko then dumped allu then picked up seized and ddk

2018-09-15 08:12

fucking baiter xD

2018-09-15 11:17

ok, we're fucked, but ok

2018-09-15 02:08

round 4 is bo3 or bo1 ?

2018-09-15 02:21

Bo1

2018-09-15 03:40

go faze <3

2018-09-15 02:59

Can someone explain how this system work ? Why HR rank is Higher than Mibr and Tyloo , Vega r higher than faze? I dunt get it..

2018-09-15 03:19

I thought we'd reached a consensus in going back to GSL but with bo3 elimination not too long ago? what the fuck's a buchholz and why is he such a dick

2018-09-15 03:22

>astralis x navi >astralis x liquid >astralis x mibr >complexity x fnatic >complexity x g2 >complexity x BIG Swiss format and its beauties

2018-09-15 04:37

Astralis 55% MIBR 45% BIG 60% HR 40% (one of these teams will be at the next major, fucking shame) fnatic 35% Na`Vi 65% G2 55% Cloud9 45% TyLoo 40% FaZe 60% Vega 35% NiP 65% We already have compLexity as a "legend", today one more of them will be either BIG or HR. Dear Valve, kys stupid idiots, your format sucks.

2018-09-15 05:09

Exactly.. I still dunno why HR rank is higher than Mibr in Buchholz system ?

2018-09-15 05:12

Because they lost to tyloo and HR beat tyloo...

2018-09-15 06:41

Rip fnatic

2018-09-15 06:18

nice system. overrated big gets the shittiest team in the 2-1 stage. fuck u valve

2018-09-15 07:58

@drakenCSGO GG @VegaSquadron 2-1 not even close, come at me CIS :) NaVi on the Road)) Are you ready, toxic baby) p.s. "not even close" - it's comeback from 0-7 to 16-14 thanks to JW and Golden (but not Draken)

2018-09-15 10:12
