StarSeries Round 3 pairings determined

31-3-2019 19:24

The draw for the third Swiss round of StarSeries Season 7 has taken place, with the 16 competing sides having learned their fate.

The 2-0 pool of teams will be headlined by the clash between FaZe and Renegades, two teams currently in the top 10, with the other match pitting Vitality against fnatic.

In the 1-1 pool, two regional clashes will be drawing a lot of attention as MIBR will go up against NRG, while Ninjas in Pyjamas will be locking horns with Natus Vincere. IEM Katowice runners-up ENCE will be looking to shake off their defeat to Vitality but will need to be wary of the threat posed by ViCi, who stunned Na`Vi on the first day of the event.

NiKo's FaZe will take on Renegades on Monday

North and BIG will be widely expected to get a victory to their names after being paired with Panda and paiN, respectively, in the 0-2 pool of teams.

Below you can find the draw in full:

2-0 pool:

FaZe vs. Renegades

remember major final... yea

keep barking about wanting to be the "second" best team in the world XDXD like it matters XDXD ENCE fans so cocky it's insane

2019-03-31 19:52

and major final and major semi final where they have 35 rounds won to 44 lost

2019-03-31 19:53

does Finland teach you kids human decency? because my god so many ence fans need a lesson.

it's the same in hockey, they aren't that good. but som times when they have a good year they let everyone know

2019-03-31 19:56

XD trying to stay relevant some how

2019-03-31 19:57

+10 average hockey fans in finland tend to be close to 0 IQ with ence it's usually the bandwagoner kids, most probably didn't even know who allu was before the major hype then again, some are just memeing. don't take it all so seriously men

2019-04-01 03:25

Dude must've lost a bet.. But no, I'm not saying that ence is #2 in the world. Actually they are like top5. But the thing is, they play better whe they are under some pressure. And I meant that it could happen (high chance) that ENCE will go into quarters atleast. Ence played bad today, but that doesn't mean they will play bad tomorrow.

NA talking about education lul

2019-03-31 22:34

It's about pride for seeing own country competing in big leagues. Sometimes it feels we aint worth shit but when something big happens to us we take great pride with it and at the same time lifting the depression out of the way. We finns enjoy being noticed but at the same time we like to keep our things by us. Any finns feel free to disagree and put yall opinions here but this is how i personally see it. (also the cocky ones might be some 13year old "jonnes(basically squeakers)" who dont know how else to contribute other than saying "ez4ence")

2019-03-31 19:50

How do spirit beat tyloo

2019-03-31 22:24

tyloo beat panda...

2019-04-01 00:10

What does that have to do with anything? Spirit would lose to panda

2019-04-01 01:21

Your logic makes no sense there man. Have you even looked at pandas recent games? XD absolute garbage team and to say spirit wouldn’t beat them is stupid

2019-04-01 07:50

I got destroyed in this matchup props to spirit but honestly it came down to tyloo just playing like trash. Its not about pandas recent games its about who is on their roster and spirits play style. Anyways props to them they are probably going to be the upset of the tournie

2019-04-02 02:18

But it’s alright it’s just my opinion and the game will be played...

2019-04-01 07:51

That’s how spirit beat tyloo ;)

2019-04-01 19:23

Ez 4 Vita

nice pairings

Izi for tarok

ENCE gets easy team ofc

Yes men tactical lose to vitality)))

2019-03-31 19:33

"easy team" that won against NaVi. Kaze and Freeman are legit, and even zhokiNg is having a good tournament.

2019-03-31 20:04

ViCi is very potential team, but not consistent.

2019-03-31 20:15

actually looks somewhat fair

TyLoo - Spirit and NaVi - NiP at the same time, fair enough

2019-04-01 01:19

eZ for faze Mibr bout to suck brehze dick lmao

Nip Vs Navi but tyloo against spirit. Tyloo aren't bad but seriously, how lucky can spirit get?

2019-03-31 20:06

In what world do spirit win against tyloo, just how they play the game plays into tyloo hands

2019-03-31 22:23

In the world we live in

2019-03-31 22:35

Have you even watched spirit play, they are utter garbage

2019-04-01 01:22

I know i'm just making a stupid guess

2019-04-01 06:09

2019-04-01 09:58

Tyloo played like shit on inferno

2019-04-01 10:20

It actually happened

2019-04-01 10:59

Let's go Vitality !

NRG vs mibr very interesting match. I want to see who is in more shit right now

Mibr ofc

Yes. My guys from the NRG have to beat, but after the match with fnatic... idk

It was more fnatic playing good than NRG playing bad though

2019-03-31 22:49

sick matchups

2019-03-31 19:28

ENCE never lost to liquid. They did something worse. They tied and it kept them out of he final. Maybe ENCE should learn to win matches instead?

They rekt them in major now what?

Men is only a name why you have to be mad((

2019-03-31 21:49

Tyloo vs spirit Nip vs Navi Rigged

This is so rigged. Tyloo has yet to play a genuinely tough opponent while being one of the worst teams at the tournament, meanwhile NaVi and NIP have to play each other.

They played a close match against renegades who has been on fire since the major

2019-03-31 21:26

Rigged for tyloo

Fuck my fantasy :(

So satisfying to see that nobody can trashtalk vitality :D

wait for zywoo to underperform then 10 laugh threads

Yes they just waiting a whiff shot to blame french scene

are u actually saying we dont have a reason to laugh at the french scene?

2019-03-31 20:11

Yeah because you're a newfag , pakistani or swedish , if you're pakistani so you can't talk cuz your country = 3rd world + noscene country + shithole country and if you're swedish your scene is worse than french scene and you are fakeflagging so that means that you're ashamed by your own country so you can't talk about french scene there is nothing to laugh since the 2 new teams are growing in power very fastly and at the end of the tournament we'll see if vitality is top 5 world or not and tomorrow i will laugh at fnatic so hard

2019-03-31 20:47

Tell me a reason to laugh at french scene RIGHT NOW. YOU CAN'T laugh at g2 or vitality when u see the last results of these 2 teams.

2019-03-31 20:49

You can always laugh at G2 men))) but vitality doing very good very nice men

2019-03-31 22:01

No you can't really laugh at g2 with amanek they seem dominant and it's useless btw

2019-03-31 23:16

Ez for the boyz

Shame for big, gonna go out to a br team

ez4vitality fnatic free win

Liquipedia: "The Buchholz system is used to seed matches from Rounds 3 to 5", but ence 3-1 (vitality 2-0) (spirit 1-1) vici 3-1 (navi 1-1) (faze 2-0) tyloo 2-2 (renegades 2-0) (panda 0-2) mibr 2-2 (renegades 2-0) (panda 0-2) nip 2-2 (fnatic 2-0) (north 0-2) nrg 2-2 (fnatic 2-0) (north 0-2) navi 1-3 (vici 1-1) (big 0-2) spirit 1-3 (pain 0-2) (ence 1-1) Why ence and vici (both 3-1) got paired against each other?

They are not using Buchholz or any other seeding tool

2019-03-31 20:00
