cs_summit 8 groups drawn

19-5-2021 07:39

FURIA will take on O PLANO in their first match, while Extra Salt will go up against EXTREMUM.

Beyond the Summit have revealed the group draw and opening match-ups for cs_summit 8, the Regional Major Ranking (RMR) event for North America that will offer leaderboard points towards qualifying for the PGL Stockholm Major.

Evil Geniuses, FURIA, Liquid, and EXTREMUM all received invites to compete in the main event as a result of being the highest-ranked teams on the 2020 RMR leaderboard, and although the seeding for the groups were done via the world rankings, the draw still resulted in an even distribution, with the directly invited teams matching up against those who advanced through the closed qualifier.

FURIA are set to face O PLANO in their first match

The eight teams have been sorted into two, best-of-three GSL groups, with the opening round kicking off with FURIA in a domestic battle against O PLANO, a match in which they will face Henrique "⁠HEN1⁠" Teles for the first time since his departure from the lineup.

Meanwhile EXTREMUM, returning to play in North America for the first time since October when they took part in IEM New York, have been drawn against Extra Salt, who concluded a European tour of their own and had a flawless run through the cs_summit closed qualifier.

In Group B, Evil Geniuses are set to take on paiN, a team Peter "⁠stanislaw⁠" Jarguz and company have yet to face after spending the first portion of their year in Europe, while Liquid and Bad News Bears will face off in the second opening match.

The top two teams from each group will advance to the upper bracket of the playoffs, while the loser of the decider match in each group will have a chance at redemption through spots in the lower bracket, resulting in only two teams being eliminated during the group stage.

Group A

Group B

The schedule for the opening matches of cs_summit 8 looks as follows:

02:30 | Extra Salt vs. EXTREMUM

Pain ES O Plano Liquid Those will be the winners i predict , but some really exciting matches here!

2021-05-19 07:47

2021-05-19 12:29

Yes sir!

2021-05-19 12:36

All brazilians on same group? Wtf

2021-05-19 07:55

all brs in same group in every tournement, it's a fkng joke

It's seeding FURIA is the highest team in the ESL/HLTV ranking > Group A Liquid the 2nd -> Group B Extra Salt 3rd -> Group B Evil Geniuses 4th -> Group A Pain 5th -> Group A EXTREMUM 6th -> Group B Bad News Bears 7th -> Group B O Plano 8th -> Group A

2021-05-19 16:49

This seeding just don't make sense... Is suspect have a seed with top 1,4,5 and 8. When every tournament commum seeds are made by top 1, 2 against top 8, 7

2021-05-19 19:14

It is how it works. It was made before they know which team would attend, not saying i agree but these people saying they put this to harm brazilians teams are stupid Also, there are other tournaments with 1,4,5,8 and 2,3,6,7 seed.

2021-05-19 19:42

yep, but since Gaules became the biggest csgo streamer every tournament is BR against BR and that's the truth... look all the last tournaments with 2 or more BR teams. If the seeds have been make before the teams why they don't tell to us

2021-05-19 19:44

Well, i can't say for sure, but normally groups are made by seed based on rankings. If brazilians teams were in the same groups in these tournaments, probably they got matched in this seeds. I'd have to research to be 100% sure. But most likely it was just bad lucky, they don't do it on purpose.

2021-05-19 19:50

Dafuq. Why are all BR teams in the same group, FFS

2021-05-19 16:50

Nope, we avoided all Brazilian teams so we’re fine LMAO

2021-05-19 12:56

Nt BNB will save NA

2021-05-19 12:58

I just feel bad for extremum that they have to get knocked out in groups by the saviors of NA, if only O Plano were in the other group, extremum would make it through.

2021-05-19 16:28

Ez for Polish Hussar BnTeT and Norwegian King jkaem

2021-05-19 19:16

EXTREMUM gonna play from states? I guess they are living in Europe, aren't they? Trip to US for playing online for 50k when the whole proccess will be more expensive?

2021-05-19 09:52

Its RMR event, its not some trash tier 2 DH to be skipped so they have to

2021-05-19 09:56

Oh, thanks. I didn't realise it's an RMR event. Still so bad list of teams tho.

They are already in L.A. for RMR event saw it on EXTREMUM Instagram

Surely, cuz it's unplayable from Europe, that's why I asked - they must be in US. Well, at least they deserve having good luck.

2021-05-19 10:08

honestly looks like tier3 teams

2021-05-19 10:02

Sorry bro but tier3 cs is reserved to Russia and your crappy region around, when csgo back to lan xDD

2021-05-19 12:57

WhEn ThE LaN CoMeS when the lan comes, cis will continue their domination as the lan gaming is the culture of the region, each and every player has participated in local lans

2021-05-19 13:51

2021-05-19 10:09

All BR teams in the same group. What a f-ing joke. Trashpoint, you have a contender in the worst RMR tournament race.

2021-05-19 10:33

This extremum match-up is actually perfect time-wise for us Aussies.

2021-05-19 12:16

ofc they put furia and o plano in first match to get the viewership, sadly for EG they wont get through

2021-05-19 12:18

EG is better than O PLANO

2021-05-20 00:34

2021-05-19 14:17

Cant wait for extra salt to rape these eu dodgers

2021-05-19 14:58

EZ THE BOYS

2021-05-19 15:41

EVERY TIME, NO MATTER THE TOURNAMENT, BUT EVERYTIME, WE START WITH A BR MATCH, WHY JUST WHY

2021-05-19 15:50

It's seed, FURIA is the higher team in the rankings, O Plano is the lowest.

2021-05-19 16:41

but it doesn’t explain why the pain is there in the same group

2021-05-19 17:06

2021-05-19 17:10

FINALLY, A LIQUID GAME OMG!

2021-05-19 16:00

Ikr jesus

2021-05-19 17:01

I won't be surprise if BR orgs swaps EG from this tournament. I am predicting Furia, O Plano (upper bracket A) and paiN (lower bracket A).

2021-05-19 16:52

Ez GodTet and theboys

2021-05-19 16:56

why always furia vs mibr/o plano etc? do this organizers have no shame? do they really think that we believe this groups are "drawn"? u picked that shit fucking morons

2021-05-19 17:16

ur team isn't complaining so why are you?

2021-05-20 00:30

its victim mentality. every brazilian fans think its the world against them

2021-05-20 18:17

Yea

2021-05-20 18:54

hgh

"drawn" kkkkkkl

2021-05-19 17:35

u think it's rigged?

2021-05-20 00:29

almost every tournment they do BRxBR

2021-05-20 01:06

bad luck, they're not rigging it on purpose lol

2021-05-20 01:17

And to think that TRK is benched and KNG was sleeping during the game yesterday. hltv.org/matches/2344833/mibr-vs-furia-b..

2021-05-19 17:41

"drawn", yes yes...

2021-05-19 17:46

ur point?

Pain > EG - Could go either way honestly, but EG is simply not looking great Extra Salt > EXTREMUM - Same as before, could go any way, but I can see EXTREMUM taking it if Liazz and gratata perform similarly to how they did in Spring Sweet Spring Furia > O PLANO - Same as before... anything can happen, but I will side with Furia on this one just because O PLANO does not have many matches against anything other than NA teams Liquid > BNB - Liquid has not competed for a while, but I hope that with adreN they can go the full distance. BNB has insane upset potential and I would not be surprised if they made it far into the tournament or destroyed Liquid Honestly I am excited for NA matches for once, but I wish my top 4 teams were not all in the same group lol

2021-05-19 17:52
