StarLadder Major quarter-finals determined

With the New Legends Stage now in the rearview mirror, the playoff bracket is now complete.

All eyes will be on the mouth-watering clash between Liquid and Astralis, the current No.1 and No.3 teams in the world. The two sides will do battle for the sixth time this year, with the North Americans having the better record (3-2 in matches, 6-5 in maps).

The last time the two teams faced each other was at the ESL Pro League Season 9 Finals, also in the quarter-final stage. Liquid came from behind to win the match 2-1 with a dominant performance from Jonathan "⁠EliGE⁠" Jablonowski, who would go on to be named the tournament's MVP.

Astralis and Liquid will face each other in the quarter-finals

The two Intel Grand Slam champions find themselves in the more stacked side of the bracket, also featuring NRG and Natus Vincere, two teams separated by just one place in the rankings.

On the other side of the bracket, ENCE and Vitality will certainly fancy their chances of reaching the semi-finals after being paired with the lowest-ranked sides of the playoff stage: the Finnish side will go up against Renegades, who bounced back from a 0-2 start, while the French giants will take on AVANGAR, who are making their first-ever appearance in the playoffs of a Major.

Below you can find all quarter-final pairings:

Finland ENCE vs. Australia Renegades
France Vitality vs. Kazakhstan AVANGAR
Denmark Astralis vs. United States Liquid
United States NRG vs. Russia Natus Vincere

You forget that it takes time to warm back up into it after a month of no officials. Vitality and Liquid should stomp any other team they play except NRG. ENCE are playing well because they’ve got jack shit to lose. Both teams will be back at their forms for this stage, mark my words.

ELiGE or NAF literally said in an interview he expects teams to get much better results against liquid after the break. Liquid has BARELY scraped by the new legends stage. They look nervous and shakey and will have more pressure on them than Astralis, since they know if they take this major it'll cement the start of a new era

Liquid won't make the final regardless. I don't think they have it in them right now. Astralis will probably win the matchup. They don't look perfect, but they feel more convincing than Liquid right now.

Agreed. Since there are 6 teams that could potentially win the winner pick is so hard to guess. I think that diamond coin will be pretty rare this time around. For me in terms of likelyhood it goes: Ence Liquid NRG Astralis Vitality NaVi I am still gonna back Liquid on that one. If Liquid manages to beat Astralis, another hard game against NRG will follow and the winner will also win the tournament. If not it will probably be Ence. They look more solid and on form than Vitality and Astralis since Zywoo isnt really carrying that hard and Astralis played lower teams and didnt beat NRG in BO3.

Nrg will rekt life out of Navi for sure)

+1 Not too sure about that Astralis Liquid match but I might be biased aswell. Still I think Liquid hat time to warm up into the tournament and now got 3 days to work out their mistakes and find their teamwork again. If they do so they will still beat the mouzbeating Astralis. But then again thats their win condition. Still expecting it to be really close though.

At this point you'd wish there was a lower bracket. Half of the bracket is not like the other, and it will feel this way inevitably.

Maybe it's time to think again the seeding system... These brackets are absolute garbage and a complete hoax in terms of teams real value. Major system is completely delusional and somehow amateur on not anticipating these kind of situations... Unbelievable!

2 and 3 will advance 1 and 4 will face each other 5 and 6 will face each other because 5 went 3-0 So well have 2vs3 And 1/4 vs 5/6 in the playoffs matchups really couldnt be much better It has nothing to do with seeding, win matches in groups = better seeding in playoffs. Liquid as the #1 should not be the 5th elo team, that's completely on them and their performances

So, under this system, we privilege starladder major seeding instead of team game wise, performance during the year, overall quality of players and tactic ability... And you think this is ok? Well, I will most certainly beg to differ!!!

From my point of view, yes! Just invite the teams that have been better throughout the year, making them safe until finals IF they get in there... Believe we both agree that presently, best CS can be seen at Liquid, Astralis, Na'Vi and NRG (before the major ofc). Now, we are on the verge that only 1 of these 4 teams can reach the final and, if you ask me, as a spectator, if I'd prefer to have a Liquid Vs Astralis or NRG final instead of a final Liquid Vs Ence or Avangar or Renegades, my answer would be as obvious as yours, I suppose... PS: you can change the word "Liquid" by NRG or Astralis ... Not biased at all on my appreciation.

Crappy brackets. Liquid, Astralis, NRG, and Navi all on one side. That means the final will not be with the best teams and probably 1 sided. I don’t think ENCE or vitality pose a real threat to any of those 4 teams.

ENCE > RNG - No way, Ence in a good shape Vitality < Avangar - Avangar started weak af but then streghtened up and won some good games. Also Vitality got raped by 2 CIS teams in New Challengers. It should be once again Astralis > Liquid - Stop dreaming Liquid can be back in shape of last months, not after 3 days of rest. Tough game but victory by Astralis obviously Na'Vi = NRG - NA team is in good shape. They should win this. But if Electronic will continue his dominance and Simple will step on at least - Na'Vi has some good chances.

Hello MIRAA, I have to complain, whoever is writing these articles, it's really a joke. I click on the article to find out WHCIH DAY the next games are, and there is NO info whatsoever. That is really sad journalism. And please don't tell me i can go to >matches and see for myself. I know that as well. But this has become a constant issue, that you write previews, without saying when the games take place and that's really amateurish.

It is partially biased. But also, last major we beat ence in a bo1 and bo3. Psychological advantage Yes renegades had bad form coming in but they also had stand ins for months. Renegades went 0-2... against 2 teams that bet liquid. In 16-14/13 games. They then bet FaZe and G2 with shox and Kenny popping off nutty plays. Jks was hitting insane shots which is renegades biggest win condition and liazz really showed up too as well as all the others playing their parts well and clutching up. It's a close call but I put it at 60:40 Renegades personally
