The stakes rise on day two in Romania as we're heading into the first qualification and elimination matches in the European B group.

The matchups for round three in the PGL Major Antwerp Europe RMR B Swiss stage have been set following the conclusion of the second round.

Qualification for the Major will be on the line in the 2-0 pool on Friday, with Players set to face Astralis and Ninjas in Pyjamas taking on Copenhagen Flames in the two headliners of the day, which will see the victors secure Legends status.

Astralis' qualifying match against Players is the headliner of round 3

Best-of-three series will also be played at the bottom between the 0-2 teams, who now have their backs against the wall. Sangal are set on a collision course with ASG, while Endpoint will lock horns with Sprout in two battles for survival at the RMR.

Matches in the 1-1 pool will see best-of-ones played between G2 and Bad News Eagles, Anonymo and Entropiq, ENCE and HEET, and SINNERS vs. Spirit.

Below you can see the schedule of round three:

2-0 pool (BO3)

I prefer these groups. Give us a chance to see the smaller teams that make the major.

Can't wait to see them.

Let's go anonymo

Good matchups

Astralis got Players oof the 2-0 games are good matchups as expected with any combo of those 4

Still I feel NIP got the easiest one there could have been for a 2-0 stage (going by the rankings, if other team would have qualified it would be tougher than facing CF)

matchups should have been: Astralis - CF Players - NIP

2022-04-21 21:55

Nip - ast Players - cf Makes the most sense with basic seeding

2022-04-21 23:07

Players and nip were quarterfinalists at last major .. while ast cf didnt make playoffs, thats the basis of the seeding .. high seed plays low seed

2022-04-22 05:47

That's not how it works.

2022-04-22 06:22

NIP vs CPH again for a spot in major.

Lmao fr, i was just thinking why do i feel deja vu in this matchup. First one was for play-offs spot tho, not for a Major spot

2022-04-21 22:00

Last time they met NIP didn't stood a chance yeeee i know flag but jabbi 1.5 rating and 2:0 CPHF, NIP will advance later anyway, REZ is too good

2022-04-21 22:15

Ancient was a banger, 110+k people watched last map if i recall correctly, that was such a nt from cphf. Think they will win

2022-04-22 01:04

Players, Nip, G2, Entropiq, Ence, Spirit, Sangal, Endpoint. I doubt we will see some surprises as those are BO3s :)

2022-04-21 21:23

The 1 1 matches are not bo3 tho

F I didn't pay attention mb In that case we may have some upsets right there, it would be funny to see G2 going to 1-2 bracket 😂

2022-04-21 21:51

as a G2 fan i wouldnt even be surprised if that happens

2022-04-22 05:53

ezz for Bad New Eagles

I feel bad for the Eagles man, they've gotten pretty unlucky with their matchups. But then again, G2 lost to Anonymo, so who's really to say what'll happen

BNE 16 - G2

lets go

2022-04-21 21:24

can g2 upset against Bad news eagles?

Find out, after the break!

2022-04-21 22:24

ez for BNE , alkisibot will be exposed

2022-04-21 21:25

G2 gets easiest matchups all the time, its nuts

cause they are easy contender

Would be wild to have 3 danish teams at legend stage Won’t happen i know

Nip facing only lower tiers in order to qualify Navi only really faced and won BOTALITY in order to qualify BOTALITY really only faced and won MOUZ in order to qualify ETERNAL FIRE going through hell to qualify Complexity won't ever qualify in other formats This pgl format so broken

EF beat Dignitas and fnatic - neither of which was ever going to make it? And the match vs OG was close as hell? They qualified for the major without winning against a single top team. Not sure how that qualifies as hell? They lost the matchups they were supposed to lose and won the ones they could have - lucky they made it, if anything.

2022-04-21 23:39

Are you kidding they faced both faze and vitality which made them on the brake of eliminations... OG dignitas some what of a high tier 2 team... Now take G2 getting 3 tier 3 games in a row while astralis for instance having 2 tier 1 games ... Wtf is this bullshit

2022-04-22 01:31

Not sure how I am kidding you? They faced Faze and Vitality and lost as expected? It doesn't matter who you lose to, it matters who you beat. Their list of scalps is not particularly impressive.

2022-04-22 02:04

Astralis is 2:0, so they gonna face another 2:0 team -> g2 lost to anonymo, so they gonna play against other team with 1:1 (logicaly will be a worse team than in 2:0 match) dunno why u cry

That's the problem with it... You get easier matches by losing? Nip not facing any tier 1 G2 not even facing any tier 2 yet and they are 1 match away from qualification
