Paris Major Legends Stage round 5 matchups decided

15-5-2023 22:34

FaZe vs. Natus Vincere will headline the last day of play in the Legends Stage.

The fifth round of fixtures at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 has been determined following the resolution of the 1-2 and 2-1 pool matches. Three teams were eliminated earlier on Monday as ENCE, Bad News Eagles, and G2 all were knocked out before the playoffs, and three more will go home on Tuesday.

FaZe will have to go through NAVI if they want to complete 0-2 comeback

FaZe will take on Natus Vincere to kickstart the action at 11:30 as the two top-five squads battle it out for one of the last remaining spots in the playoffs. Both teams were favorites to advance, but capitulations against the likes of Into the Breach and Monte means only one of the two will make it through.

GamerLegion qualify for Paris Major playoffs over Apeks

fnatic vs. Into the Breach will give us a British derby of sorts as the two organizations are scheduled to face each other at 15:30 . These two teams each claimed a big scalp of their own as William "⁠mezii⁠" Merriman's men took down G2 earlier on Monday while Thomas "⁠Thomas⁠" Utting and company defeated FaZe on Saturday.

The Legends stage will be closed by Apeks vs. Ninjas in Pyjamas, with Aleksi "⁠Aleksib⁠" Virolainen's squad looking to complete their redemption from a catastrophic 0-3 exit from the IEM Rio 2022 Legends Stage.

The last remaining Legends Stage matches are as follows:

2-2 pool (BO3) - losers eliminated, winners advance to Champions Stage

Damn Faze vs Navi, loser eliminated. Is this the beginning of s1mple's sunset?

Yep :)

2023-05-16 05:29

let's go navi!!!!!!!

Who the hell thought having Navi - Faze so early makes sense what? Such a banger match in working hours nice

22 replies

Exactly my throughs lmao. I will work during Faze NaVi while we have Apeks Nip during the evening where i can watch...that is sad tbh. Now I can pray god that Vitality's quarter will be on thursday when we have a day off in France

Same, whole weekend Faze plays evening times and once work starts again, they play the work hours smh hate blast for doing this

2023-05-15 22:40

Who want to watch fnatic ITB when we can have Faze Navi ?? sooooo silly

2023-05-15 22:41

I think it's so the teams don't have to play a late match followed by an early morning one

2023-05-15 22:46

Yeah I think that's the reason why but man i wanted to see a banger match when i go back home :/

2023-05-15 23:28

Yeah, I know :(

2023-05-15 23:31

Faze boring. Itb interestink. Itb 1-0 faze ;)

Since you are calling two top5 ranked team shit, it is relevant to ask your opinion about another you are a fan of that didn’t even make it to 2-2 game. It shows if your views are consistent or biased by fandom.

2023-05-16 17:34

2023-05-16 18:02

Where is G2 at then? Smh imagine trying to cope so hard when ur team ain't even in the play offs

2023-05-16 18:54

thats what i thought, couldnt come up with real argument as to why faze is not bad just goes for the classic ooga booga i am 12 haha ur flair iddnt make playoffs! i win argument now!

2023-05-16 19:37

Well, they won an event end of March, G2 won last time mid February. So by your counting it would be like 15 years ago G2 won anything? So G2 are then even worse?

2023-05-16 19:33

Working hour for you, evening for me lol

2023-05-16 07:22

Sad that they have to clash this early in the tournament and one is out. I just hope for FaZe to get through here after Monte swiped the floor with NaVi on Nuke.

navi, fnatic, apecks my pickems are fucked

Can’t see Apeks beat NiP (sadly), others agreed

you're probably right, i havent been able to watch much of either team this major

Perhaps, historically NIP can lose to anyone though

2023-05-15 22:47

i'm from the future we agreed upon the wrong choices.

2023-05-16 23:03

Phahahah if you read my comment below yours I have just ALL WRONG! That’s quite something :D

2023-05-17 00:12

I think a lot of people's pickems are doomed already... mine certainly are... G2, Ence and now one of faze/Navi bombing out of groups while GL and Monte are through

2023-05-16 09:42

Well there goes my pickems byebye

Faze: “fuck your Pickems”

Whoever gets diamond this major, I’ll venmo u $100

It's rio all over again

2023-05-15 22:45

A little sad that another top 5 team fald to reach playoffs agter G2 lost today. But on the other side tomorrows matches is similar to a 16th-final.

At least most of the bo3s today were very competitive

We are getting the best teams, not the ones with the most hype or fake rankings from partner events boosting. Fnatic dispatched G2 fair and square. Only luck that it wasn’t 2-0.

2023-05-16 10:10

Into the Playoffs suiiiiii

G2 :(((

2023-05-15 23:20

Its over s0mple, please don't be mad with your teammates after the match when you are the one missing 80% of the shots with the AWP

First csgo major 2013. Last csgo major 2023 = NaVi, fnatic and NiP.

Before the start of this stage, I suggested it would be iconic if Fnatic won the first and the last CS:GO major..... I mean.... Its possible... A suitable bracket and if their opponent is having an off day.. you never know.. Krimz has done it before.. and nicodoz is playing good... It is possible...... P.S: If you're reading this cArn - please now (after 11 years) do release "A decade of dominance" if your org wins the final CS:GO major :D thank you kindly.

2023-05-16 00:50

my pickems :'(

2023-05-15 22:57

Current Faze vs. Current Navi is like Pest vs Cholera, id rather have ITB and Fnatic make it.

2023-05-15 23:05

G2 using that Shiryu's Rozan KôRyu Ha : they won't die alone ! Thanks to them another top tier team with huge fanbase everybody wanted to see in the Accor Arena gets to be eliminated too !

If we will not have Vitality vs Heroic/Liquid final this major will be more boring than the previous one

2023-05-15 23:15

+1 paris major is already queit boring

Why is it boring? Many matches have delivered and we are not even in the playoffs

2023-05-16 01:50

how, insane matches and im saying this being a cloud9 and vp fan

2023-05-16 07:40

If you're a FaZe supporter it ain't boring lmao

2023-05-16 10:33

Unfortunately Faze look really bad this Major, Navi goes through tomorrow.

2023-05-15 23:41

Nawwk's redemption arc.

2023-05-16 00:45

what a dogshit seeding lol

2023-05-16 04:58

yes garbage navi or trash faze will get a free playoff spot while the best teams apeks and fnatic are clashing

2023-05-16 07:42

It’s only fair that faze/Navi have to actually beat one top tier team to get playoffs after their poor play. This seeding is perfectly fair.

2023-05-16 10:12

I wanna se apeks make it

2023-05-16 08:11

Faze and Navi game is a 50-50 game. Good luck Faze! All the pressure on Fnatic and NiP, as they both should win.. But as its a major, its probably going to go the opposite :)

2023-05-16 09:55

I'll feel super sad for the losing team in the last two matches, like them all. In the first, I just want to see them scrub it out in a Vertigo decider xD
