Astralis and Vitality to face off in round 4 elimination matchup

Entropiq and FURIA will play for a spot in the playoffs while FaZe and Liquid will look to avoid elimination.

Following the conclusion of round three of the Legends Stage Swiss group, the matches for the 2-1 and 1-2 pools have been drawn. On the high side, top five ranked teams Ninjas in Pyjamas and Gambit will face off for a spot in the playoffs, while Entropiq will take on FURIA due to each team's Buchholz score placing them at the ends of the pool's seeding.

Astralis will fight for survival against ZywOo

Due to the seeding in round three and beyond being based off Buchholz score primarily, Entropiq have ended up as the highest seeding team in the 2-1 pool due to facing Liquid (1-2), Gambit (2-1), and G2 (3-0). On the other side, Gambit ends up as the lowest seed due to playing ENCE (0-3), Entropiq (2-1), and Virtus.pro (1-2). However, since the two CIS sides have already faced each other in round two, Entropiq plays the next lowest seed in FURIA who have a Buchholz score of -3 after playing Astralis (1-2), MOUZ (1-2), and Liquid (1-2).

In the lower pool, FaZe and Liquid will play for a chance to play in round five, while Astralis will face Vitality to avoid an early exit from the Major. All four teams have suffered key upsets which are coming back to bite them as they take on other playoff contenders.

Here is the full schedule for day three of PGL Stockholm:

11:00 Russia Entropiq vs Brazil FURIA (2-1)
11:00 Europe FaZe vs United States Liquid (1-2)

14:45 Sweden Ninjas in Pyjamas vs Russia Gambit (2-1)
14:45 Denmark Astralis vs France Vitality (1-2)

18:30 Denmark HEROIC vs Denmark Copenhagen Flames (2-1)
18:30 World Virtus.pro vs Europe MOUZ (1-2)

Time is adjusted to your selected timezone
RIP Astralis!

Really? I'd root for Furia, it's good to see the young blood rise up and make BR CS good again. Fallen was very good, don't get me wrong, but he's still low-key stuck on older BR CS, we need new faces

yup i think so as well - most of those can go out either way my picks would be Entropiq, Faze, Nip, Vitality, CPH, VP especially CPH Flames is really really impressing me currently - wouldnt be surprised if a bigger org like EG or coL is picking them up after the major

The only "close" games were Vitality and VP (Because they almost fumble a 10-1 lead). But it's a major, so teams will fuck up because of nerves. Heroic wasn't close (Only CPH map pick). Gambit wasn't close. Faze wasn't close.

Heroic - CPH was not close. Stomped first map, even 2nd map (CPH map pick), 14-8 third map and then scrapped 3 rounds to make it seem more "decent", but it was not Astralis Vitality third map. Furia - Entropiq already said it would be a coin flip that could go either way.

you know first map means fuck all, the decider was close as fuck and if you disagree, i don't believe you watched the full 3rd map. the momentum shifts were numerous towards the end, heroic just managed to keep the momentum under control at the end. either way, i said the matchups were very even, so i don't understand what you're trying to prove here?
2021-11-01 23:55

You never know with Faze. Vitality has been poor lately and Astralis are relatively more warmed up. Gambit and NiP is an even matchup. CPHF just beat Heroic a few days back. VP were almost eliminated by Team Spirit
2021-10-31 20:33

- Faze is favorite - Vitality is favorite (Astralis warmed up, lol) - Gambit - Nip is even on paper. Gambit is stronger in bo3 thanks to their map pool. - Heroic collapse against CPH because of the pressure to make it out of challengers, they're playing more lose now (Could have beat NAVI). They won't allow CPH to comeback again... - VP almost losing against Spirit means nothing (CIS vs CIS matchup). They're favorites against this Mouz... I stand by what I said that if those 5 teams don't win, it'll be a surprise. Entropiq vs Furia is the real coin toss.

Personally, I think Entropiq is looking like they'll beat Furia without too much trouble. They are playing really well and Furia, while improved, still look a bit weak. Both Faze and Liquid are looking shaky, but I do think Faze is the more solid team, so I'd agree with you there. Vitality isn't looking good at all right now. The games against Heroic and VP were close, but they're still meh. Their win against EG was way too close for what it should've been. Meanwhile, Astralis are looking in decent form, so I think this is very 50/50. NIP can definitely beat Gambit. Their loss to Na'Vi was big, but they are looking good now. Meanwhile, Gambit also looked sub-par for their standards against Entropiq. CPHF beat Heroic in the challenger stage in a BO3. While I still have Heroic bouncing back, I wouldn't say they are the clear favourite. Mouz still has Ropz and Frozen can sometimes go off. Though yes, I think VP should win here.

They are not enjoying their game bcoz they lost confident and they seem like washed up players who lost enjoy of playing CS! that's feel sad for me! I want to see them as old Astralis in 2018-2019.

Im not talking about beeing outfragged. I am talking about 5v5 rounds when Astralis was on T-side and CT's from B(for example) already left the bombside and run to A because it was obvious what gla1ve is going to do. just re-watch Astralis-NiP / Astralis-Heroic / Astralis-Entropiq / Astralis-Cph Flames and ancient Astralis-Pain. Those are the games I watched and all of those games had rounds like this. Childrens book

2-1 match-ups make no sense, just like the 2-0 yesterday didn't either. I mean today, NIP will face Gambit while Furia will face Entropiq.. no offense to their fans, but shouldn't it be the other way, as in NIP-Entropiq and Gambit-Furia, for example? I'd rather have NIP AND Gambit in the Avicii arena rather than the winner of the Furia-Entropiq... Now we will lose some of the favorites and highest placed teams in HLTV ranking, while we might see a few easy 2-0 in the QFs... makes no sense.
