G2, ENCE one win away from Major; Entropiq face elimination
The third round started with the 1-1 pool of games, with the two biggest favorites getting their second wins of the tournament.
With four of the second day games now played, we watched the last BO1 games of the European RMR Group B and now move into BO3 matches for the remainder of the event.
The 1-1 pool of matches had some interesting games, but most favored teams managed to win their matches, meaning G2, Anonymo, ENCE, and SINNERS joined the 2-1 pool and now require just one more win to qualify.
The suprise result of the day was certainly Anonymo getting the better of Entropiq, with the team ranked 69th in the world taking down the heavily favorited Russian team, continuing their surprising run in Bucharest after beating G2 in the opening round.
On the other hand, losses for Bad News Eagles, Entropiq, HEET and Spirit now mean they need to win their remaining two games to qualify, otherwise they will be eliminated.

The first match of the round took us to Dust2, where Bad News Eagles and G2 met in what was a battle of two heavy firepower teams. A pistol round win gave Bad News Eagles a short lived lead, but G2 quickly fought back and took control of the half, getting to a 5-2 lead and never looking troubled, in the end finishing the half five rounds in front. The second half started with Bad News Eagles getting another pistol round win, before a classic Nikola "NiKo" Kovač Deagle round got his team back on track. The win never looked in doubt for G2, who in the end won with a 16-10 scoreline.
Elsewhere, it was Anonymo continuing their impressive campaign with a win against Entropiq on Ancient. The Polish team has taken another scalp after taking down G2 in the first round of games. This match was an incredibly even one, which is uncommon for games on Ancient as the map is usually very CT sided, as Entropiq were able to get seven round on their offensive side and looked set for a victory. But Anonymo were able to go one round better than their opponents on their terrorist side, winning the map 16-14.
ENCE were able to dispatch of HEET on Ancient. The map started off with the French team winning the pistol, but ENCE retaliated with a force buy and started to rack up rounds, winning the CT half with a 10-5 scoreline on the back of Lotan "Spinx" Giladi's incredible 25 kills at half time. ENCE then won the second pistol round, setting them up for the 16-8 victory. Lotan "Spinx" Giladi got 40 kills and a 2.45 rating at the end of the map.
The last match of the 1-1 pool was SINNERS versus Spirit, where it was the Czech team comfortably winning on Nuke. They started off on the defensive side and completely shut out their opponents, who simply couldn't break down their opponent's defense. SINNERS won the half 12-3 and didn't have much trouble closing the game out, now joining the 2-1 pool of teams.
Next up we have the qualification and elimination matches, where we will see Players facing off against Astralis in what is surely going to be a mouth-watering BO3 series.
