Astralis put OG out of top-three running in ESL Pro League

9-4-2020 00:20

Astralis have swept OG in a convincing two-map series to clinch their second win in the round-robin group stage.

Astralis' triumph sees the Danes stay in the running for a top-three finish in the second stage. They are currently sitting in fourth place with one match to go against MOUZ, which will decide whether they will enter a tiebreaking scenario with the European side and the loser of fnatic-Natus Vincere (in case of a win) or finish the league as the fourth-best team.

Meanwhile, OG's hopes have been thwarted as they're now sitting at a 1-3 record without a chance to reach the top three ahead of their last match against FaZe, which will only determine the fifth and sixth place.

Astralis continue their recovery from a 0-2 start in the second stage

At the beginning of the series, Astralis immediately took hold of OG's pick, Dust2, getting off to a painless start on the offense. The only thing standing in their way during the half was Mateusz "⁠mantuu⁠" Wilczewski, whose two multikills gave the European mixture a string of three rounds, but otherwise the Danes were in total control as they swept the rest of the half.

Up 11-4, Astralis conceded the first three rounds of the second half but quickly seized control again, with quad-kills from Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz and Andreas "⁠Xyp9x⁠" Højsleth pushing them to a 16-8 win on the opener.

Overpass followed with more of the same. Emil "⁠Magisk⁠" Reif's all-headshot pistol round ace set off another dominant offensive half, in which OG could only muster a three-round streak once more. Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen and device turned around a 2v4 afterplant in the second pistol round, putting Astralis at 13 rounds, and even though their opponents managed to stall the game, it didn't take long for the favorites to lock down the series at 16-10, 2-0.

But they all played at least in Tier3 Teams.. mantuu was stucked in the german Scene, thats like Tier20 or even lower and also the every six-month german shuffle wasn't helping at all

2020-04-09 12:01

fnatic is qualified for playoffs and that's all that matters 😎👌

Lucky? xd

lol

Go home OG fluke

You're not gonna say that when this roster will win the majors

2020-04-09 00:28

Why not, it will still be a fluke

2020-04-09 05:47

OG played a little badly today

Im sure they will recover from here tho

Magisk/ #ONELOVE

To ez but bad news top3 is already formed.

They will get eaten by mouz tomorrow :)

2020-04-09 00:22

doubt

2020-04-09 00:38

Rip faze

Wait a minute.. if navi and mouz lose tomorrow what will happen?

12 replies

mouz 3-2 astralis 3-2 navi 3-2 navi has h2h advantage against astralis astralis has h2h advantage against mouz mouz has h2h advantage against navi so it's about maps/rounds won

2020-04-09 00:25

2020-04-09 00:29

If so, Fnatic can make the top 3 even lose to Navi tomorrow? Since Fnatic has advantages against both Astralis and Mouz?

2020-04-09 00:30

yes fnatic are guaranteed top 3

yeah fnatic is already in, in that case mouz would be out

2020-04-09 00:31

1. FNC 2. Astralis 3. Mouz 4. Navi RD is decider If navi wins then 1. Navi 2. FNC 3. Astralis 4. Mouz if Astralis loses then they are eliminated. I think FNC is safe either if lose or if win. Other teams could go either ways

2020-04-09 00:32

Map difference between the tied participants > RD

2020-04-09 00:51

Official ESL's rules says: If after any point from 1. to 10., the number of tied participants is reduced or divided into several groups of tied participants, the still tied participants will in each case be compared again starting with the first point. 1. Points amassed between the tied participants (direct match win > direct match loss) 2. Map difference between the tied participants (3:2 maps > 3:3 maps) ... If if navi and mouz lose tomorrow: Navi, Astralis, Mouz have same points 1. Navi > Astralis Astralis > Mouz Mouz > Navi 2. Map difference between the tied participants: Navi - 2:3 Astralis - 3:2 or 3:3 Mouz - 3:2 or 2:2 So: 2-3. Astralis and mouz 4. Navi

2020-04-09 00:50

Navi and fnatic already qualified because Navi beat astralis h2h and mouz can get eliminated if Navi and astralis win

If NaVi and Astralis win, that you are right, but if Fnatic and Astralis won, three team would have 9 points and 1:1 between tied participants

2020-04-09 08:17

Bruh what are u saying??? Navi will qualify over astralis because they already beat astralis that's it What is 1:1? Don't make it complicated

2020-04-09 08:36

Situation between teams, which have 9 point: NaVi beat Astralis Astralis beat Mouz Mouz bet NaVi Every team win one of competitors and lose to another

2020-04-09 08:41

How would they decide who are those top three? Considering there could be 2 or 3 teams with the same number of wins?

head2head

2020-04-09 00:36

since head2head is even as Navi were defeated by Mouz it would be rather based on rounds difference

2020-04-09 00:39

Hope Navi qualify

Astralis making a comeback after being down in initial matches of a stage. *surprised Pikachu face*

2020-04-09 00:26

Great game. Sad that OG can't qualify, but they still have played great in this EPL Season.

If Astralis wins vs Mouz tomorrow and fnatic wins over NaVi, does Astralis qualify?

8 replies

even if fnatic lose I think they qualify since both teams will have h2h advantage over mouz

yes winner of astralis vs mouz will qualify, loser is out

2020-04-09 01:18

Thats not true, mouz could still qualify

2020-04-09 01:29

oh right lol, navi can still go out

2020-04-09 01:36

Navi can't go out Navi and fnatic have both qualified Astralis can qualify if they beat mouz and Navi beat fnatic But if fnatic win Navi lose then astralis are out because Navi already beat astralis h2h Astralis can make it over mouz because of same points better h2h

2020-04-09 08:30

You forgot that mouz already beat NaVi

2020-04-09 09:09

There will be a three way tie dude Astralis > mouz > navi > Astralis So now they look. At the map differnce between the tied teams And navi has 2-3 rn ( when they lose they either have 2-5 or 3-5 ) and will be last Edit: navi cant qualify if they lose and astralis win

2020-04-09 13:40

It is map difference between the tied teams only The result doesnt change though

2020-04-09 16:26

so fnatic are already guaranteed top3 no? they have head to head advantage against both astralis and mouz so even if they lose against navi and mouz lose to asstralis they will be qualified. Prepare for some throw league

But if fnatic win they get to go straight to the finals

Yeah that is my understanding too. Fnatic are the only ones safe I believe. If they win they are top, if they lose they are 2nd or 3rd which is irrelevant anyway. Then the winner of mouse and Astralis goes through and the last spot is still up in the air.

2020-04-09 00:49

wait why? if fnatic wins they get to finals if navi wins ( and mouz loses ) navi goes to finals so no throw matches tomorrow

2020-04-09 01:16

yeah but they won't be eliminated either so I guess they wont try their hardest

2020-04-09 11:29

Navi has to win, the only team that is safe is fnatic, and obviously they want the first place too Navi cant make it when they lose and astralis win

2020-04-09 13:36

yeah same as in phase 1 where it felt like fnatic weren't even trying against navi, Literally the exact same situation

2020-04-09 19:08

Yeah

2020-04-09 00:34

Lezzzzzz go

2020-04-09 00:48

NT Og. You improve every tournament <3 Soon #1

2020-04-09 00:56

imagine losing D2 to Asstralis they suck on it now

Magisk looking really good

2020-04-09 02:09

Magisk looking pretty good and in form atm

2020-04-09 02:31

GG Astralis, a well-deserved victory. GJ OG, it was a good run on EPL. #DreamOG

2020-04-09 03:04

If Mouz and fnatic wins then 1.fnatic 2.mouz 3. Navi Mouz and navi wins then 1.mouz 2.navi 3.fnatic Astralis(2-0) and fnatic wins then 1.fnatic 2.astralis 3.mouz Astralis(2-0) and navi wins then 1.navi 2.fnatic 3.astralis And if astralis dont win 2-0 then RD comes in play Is this right mens ??

2020-04-09 03:27

No. In EPL rules is written, that if teams have same points that: 1.Points amassed between the tied participants (direct match win > direct match loss) 2. Map difference between the tied participants (3:2 maps > 3:3 maps) So if Fnatic and Astralis win today, that NaVi eliminated
