Outsiders and OG face elimination after losses in round 3

forZe, Vitality, MOUZ and SAW got their second wins of the tournament and advanced to the 2-1 pool.

With the second day of action now well underway, we are getting a clearer picture of the teams with a genuine chance of qualifying to the Major. The 1-1 pool of matches, which were played in a BO1 format, has concluded, with FORZE, Vitality, MOUZ and SAW now one win away from qualifying for the Major.

The first match of the day happened on Dust2, where FORZE were able to upset OG in an closely contested map which ended in overtime. The Russian team prevailed with a 19-17 score despite Mateusz "⁠mantuu⁠" Wilczewski 38 kills, an incredible 29 of them being with his preferred weapon, the AWP. OG will now have to win their next two games to qualify for the Major.

ZywOo's Vitality team require just one more victory for qualification

Vitality and Eternal Fire also met on Dust2, with the French team looking great on the CT side, racking up an 11-4 lead at the half. But once the teams switched sides, Vitality were able to make the most out of their firepower and got the scoreline to 13-11 in the favor of Vitality. From then on, Mathieu "⁠ZywOo⁠" Herbaut took the game into his own hands, getting his team over the line in a 16-11 victory.

The next match was another close game, with MOUZ emerging victorious in their game against Outsiders on Inferno. The game was close throughout, with teams trading rounds during the entire game, meaning neither team got more than a three round lead, before MOUZ started to get into their groove on the CT side, in the end winning 16-12.

In the last match in the 1-1 pool we had fnatic facing off against SAW. It was the Portugese team coming out on top after a stellar Nuke CT side enabled them to comfortably dispatching of the Alex "⁠ALEX⁠" McMeekin led team.

Next up are the qualification and elimination matches, the first of which start at 14:15 .
