FURIA-COL headlines Round 3 of Americas RMR matchups

The third round of play will see two teams advance to the Major, while two more will have their hopes crushed with early eliminations.

The first day of action in Romania for the PGL Major Antwerp Americas RMR has come to an end, and with it, the matchups for day two have been determined using the Bucholz seeding system.

Tension is mounting heading into the second day as four teams will already have the chance to secure a berth to the Major, while another four are staring down the nightmare of an early elimination from contention after sitting upon 0-2 records.

FURIA and Complexity will face off for a spot at the Major

The second day of action will kick off with best-of-one matches among the teams who hold 1-1 records, including Liquid and Evil Geniuses, who fell to 00NATION and paiN respectively in their opening matches to kick off the event in lacklustre form before bouncing back in round 2.

In a direct swap, the two North American sides are set to face off against the Brazilian teams that felled their countrymen, with 00NATION looking to bounce back after a thrashing by the hands of Complexity and paiN hoping for redemption after they had a comeback against MIBR halted in triple overtime.

Following the conclusion of the 1-1 matches, best-of-threes will take over for the remainder of the day, featuring one elimination and one advancement match being played simultaneously.

In the 2-0 pool, it will be Imperial taking on MIBR for a spot at the Major, a dream matchup for both sides as the other 2-0 game features Complexity and FURIA going up against each other — a bout in which Paytyn "⁠junior⁠" Johnson will have his first chance to claim revenge against some of his former teammates.

Meanwhile, four teams will be fighting for their tournament lives, with 9z and Bad News Bears clashing to determine whether it is a North American or a South American team that is the first to be eliminated from Major contention. Following that, TeamOne and Leviatan will lock horns, bringing an end to the day's matches with only one of the two left standing.

The round 3 matchups for the Americas RMR look as follows:

1-1 pool (BO1)
11:00 Brazil 00NATION vs. United States Evil Geniuses (A stream)
11:00 Brazil Isurus vs. Brazil São Caetano
12:15 Brazil Case vs. United States Party Astronauts (A stream)
12:15 United States Liquid vs. Brazil paiN

2-0 pool (BO3) - A stream
13:30 Brazil Imperial vs. Brazil MIBR
17:15 Brazil FURIA vs. United States Complexity

0-2 pool (BO3) - B stream
13:30 South America 9z vs. United States Bad News Bears
17:15 Brazil TeamOne vs. Argentina Leviatan

Would change pain for liquid and bears for 9z, but pretty solid list. Also i think pain is very capable of beating liquid, but their yesterday form was a fluke

Goodluck to Imperial! They 100% got the best matchup they could have hoped for in the 2-0 bracket, they have a better chance to beat MIBR then FURIA or CoL. I think they'd be through to the major if they win this one :)

yeah, but it s the least interesting matchup pair. I would much rather see coL vs MIBR and FURIA vs Imperial instead

I wouldn't, FURIA would more than likely destroy Imperial pretty quickly. As much as I support Imperial, they wouldn't have much of a chance. CoL would also probably beat MIBR, although maybe not as convincingly This is my preferred matchup, MIBR is a favorite to Imperial but can 100% be upset by them, same thing with Furia. CoL have shown a great level of skill so far in their first two games, so I'm looking forward to seeing if they can overpower Furia

if furia and imperial wins tomorrow, furia vs imperial will play to define legend spot, easy 300k viewers on BR stream.

Don't be mistaken, MIBR is still a very dangerous team and is 100% the favorite in this matchup. It would be a pretty impressive upset if Imperial win

I agree they have the easiest seeding they could have wished for, but that doesn't mean its easy. They needed to deal with that Sao Caetano team which to me seemed very motivated to try and get through the event, while obviously not favorites I think they posed a threat, same with Case (who are a pretty alright Brazilian team). MIBR isn't a easy team to beat, recently they even took down the best team on Earth if I recall.

+1 I still think imperial are favorites, but it's gonna be a tough match. MIBR has been grinding hard for the last months.

What? At best they're at the same level. I agree that MIBR is a dangerous team, but they're absolutely not the favorites.

Oh they very much are, I am a big Imperial fan and have been rooting for them since they formed but MIBR is a whole other beast. To start Imperial has had 0 experiance against top teams since forming, in fact I don't even think they've played against a top 30 team yet. They've shown some good progress and talent, but they have lost to teams like Case, Sharks, and sAw and have played many close games with teams they should have beat. MIBR on the other hand are currently on a 10 game winning streak and have beat top 30 teams, most notably Na Vi in January. In no way is Imperial the favorites, and as far as I can see it aren't at the same level. And if they are, they haven't proven it to be so.

lol I'm a Imperial hater, and they've beat good European teams like MOUZ NXT and Falcons. Also, form matters and MIBR has recently lost to Orgless and struggled with paiN, while Imperial just stomped Case, who won the first SA Open Qualifier. As far as experience goes, all of MIBR together doesn't have as much Tier 1 experience as a single member of Imperial, it doesn't matter that they've not been together (brnz4n was in chelo's spot no too long ago too). It's an even match.

how the fuck did these 2-0 matchups happen? the first and third best squads in America and the other matchup are two middle of the pack (or worse) BR teams? Should be like Furia v Imperial and coL v mibr how does this happen?

idk if you are supporting or against my argument but my brain isnt working properly and I cant understand. I do agree tho if you meant how the seeding has been thrown out the window seemingly and the matchups are a complete joke. If you are saying the seeding they did in the open qualifiers is enough I disagree as I see at best those useless bo1s should just help give seeding to the many BR/NA squads who PGL might not have the best idea on where to seed them.

MIBR can easily beat COL, just like they already did ago. Imperial propably win too, not so easy as MIBR but they still can. Furia will destroy Col tomorrow and show them the difference between a tier 1 and a tier 2 team.
