Paris Major Legends Stage round 4 matchups determined

ENCE will take on Ninjas in Pyjamas for their tournament lives on Monday.

The fourth round of matchups at the BLAST.tv Paris Major Legends Stage has been set following the conclusion of round three of the Swiss format, where we saw Vitality and HEROIC book their playoff spots, while 9INE and FURIA exited the tournament with 0-3 records. Monday's games will all happen in a best-of-three format, with every match being played for progression to the playoffs or elimination from the Major.

The action will start with ENCE vs. Ninjas in Pyjamas and FaZe vs. Bad News Eagles in two elimination games at 11:30 , with the latter matchup having quite a bit of history. Bad News Eagles have eliminated the European combine from the IEM Rio Major and beat them at the Paris RMR, where FaZe eventually had to fight through the last chance qualifier.

FaZe will once again meet BNE

fnatic vs. G2 rounds out the elimination games, where the Rasmus "⁠HooXi⁠" Nielsen-led team will hope to continue their resurgence against an out-of-form fnatic.

Monte will meet Natus Vincere in the first qualification match. The clash is a Ukrainian derby as well as a battle between Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev and Volodymyr "⁠Woro2k⁠" Veletniuk, who have been embroiled in some Twitter arguments in recent times.

Rounding out the day will be Liquid's clash with Into the Breach in what should be a good chance for the North Americans to secure a playoff spot after a rough start to the Major, alongside another 2-1 bout between Apeks and GamerLegion.

The schedule looks as follows:

1-2 pool (BO3) - losers eliminated from the Paris Major

Na'Vi vs MONTE... That is one hell of a matchup. Can sdy beat the team that benched him? Can BOROS surpass s1mple? Will there be any controversy because of Russian players? Hopefully it goes three maps. :D

Would'he been sad if it were an elimination match but that way it's just a great derby. So cool that Ukraine can have a rivalry after all these years with pretty much only NaVi at high level.

You say easy bracket and yet ITB and BNE beat FaZe Clan. Not exactly tier 1 teams but that doesn't mean that they got lucky either - lower-tier teams are harder to play against because of the unknowingly factor, even ZywOo seems to think so in the interview; that lower-tier teams have more drive to win.

The whole path of Apeks and GL since RMR Closed Qualies to this point has been one giant easy bracket, man.

Post #16, GL didn't exactly have it easy... Sure, Apeks lost to G2 but they beat Liquid and put up a fight against Heroic. They might have had an easier path but that isn't the fault of Apeks.

Apeks beat BNE, Pain in a b03, beat Liquid, 16-0 grayhound and beat ITB. They deserve it.

BNE have to beat FaZe a third time. Could be close but probably faze winners here, good or bad. I don't think ENCE v NIP will be that close, TBH. Bo3, lfg. I already lost my ENCE pick in 3-0. They lost a number of anti-eco's recently that are a bit concerning, but should beat NIP. No fucking chance fnatic beats G2. That's probably G2-0. No one will convince me ITB will beat anyone in bo3 in this stage until it happens. B8 has been the only test outside bo1. Beating ence in this fashion was a surprise but not that crazy in bo1. Liquid 2-0. Maybe 2-1. Monte is getting demolished by NaVi. I will eat my pants if I am wrong on this one. Apeks will probably beat GamerLegion but there's a chance for GL to get the slight upset. It would then be ENCE v GL, G2 v ITB and FaZe v Monte for the last 3 spots and I think we know how that would go for the first two. FaZe v Monte could be competitive but I would imagine faze the victor still.
