HEROIC take on NAVI on final day of Elimination Stage

7-12-2024 14:42

Five top 10 sides are fighting for the playoffs, with only three spots up for grabs.

Reigning champions NAVI have one last shot at the playoffs

Day three of the Elimination Stage has drawn to a close in Shanghai, with 3DMAX, GamerLegion and paiN going home, whilst G2, Liquid and Spirit booked playoff berths.

There is one more day of Elimination Stage play to go, with everything on the line for the six teams left in contention. Three spots are left for the playoffs, and five teams inside the top 10 are left fighting for them.

MIBR will kick off the day taking on MOUZ, with MOUZ set to be heavy favorites. Then a mouth-watering clash between HEROIC and Natus Vincere will take place, with the form table suggesting it could go either way. Two legendary IGLs will then clash in the final game as FaZe take on FURIA

Calling their 6-0 path a fluke is a bit unfair

"Fluke" isn't about how strong and condident was their 6-0 path. hltv.org/team/6248/the-mongolz Their peak is #9 and time at peak is only 2 weeks. If they keep playing like that or even better and stay in top10 for months then calling them "fluke" would be unfair. If they disappear after their miracle run at Major then that would be literally a definition of "fluke".

out when they meet the first T1 team in a BO3. calling it anything other than a fluke, when in their entire existence they were at T2 / Eternal Fire level, is delusional.

2024-12-07 16:46

they are playing solid ass cs, heroic is playing really good and they beat them in a legit bo3, also top tier cs against g2 and mouz

2024-12-07 19:06

Teams can win a major and it still would be a fluke. Like Gambit 2017 or Virtus.pro 2022. As for Mongolz they haven't done anything great yet.

faze is trash

mark my words, two of them will go home tomorrow

2024-12-07 15:29

NaVi and FaZe to home please

2024-12-07 15:48

picking furia to playoffs is wild coping

2024-12-07 15:10

i mean flag lets be honest

2024-12-07 17:03

Yea i noticed but still...

2024-12-07 17:39

how do you not have 5 correct picks yet???

2024-12-07 18:19

3-0: Mibr and spirit 3-1 3-2: Furia, Pain, G2, Liquid, Navi, Mongolz, (2 correct) 0-3: Big and Wildcard (2 correct) average brazilian redondo (pick'em) :PP

2024-12-07 21:13

You picked mibr 3:0 that must be the most delusional pick i have EVER seen

2024-12-08 15:10

unbelievably unlucky for Heroic. Mongolz Spirit and now NaVi. Almost as if the draws were made to ensure that Mouz Faze and NaVi go through because how does Faze and NaVi who have continuously disappointed get easy draws?

2024-12-07 14:49

How is Heroic easy draw for Navi? Furia or MIBR deffo would be better match-up

if NaVi turn up heroic has 0 chance they did well versus GL. If they keep it up they can easily beat Heroic as well Also, I thought that it would have been Faze versus NaVi in 2-2 if Faze lost, atleast this is what I read in another thread

The level they showed today against GL wont be enough to beat Heroic for sure. They need to step up

2024-12-07 15:00

you think so? because don't mind i really wish heroic goes through. Not because of pickems or anything i anyway did free HLTV pickems its fine whatever i get. But Heroic are just more deserving...although yea i guess it's who's more deserving on that day indeed

2024-12-07 15:06

it would have been Faze vs. Navi if either Pain or Heroic won their previous matches, but since both lost, the Buchholtz score changed.

2024-12-07 15:31

because Navi cant play MIBR again?

2024-12-07 15:26

majors.im/24shanghai use this instead of complaining about draws to see how brackets form. Buccholz is a system with many flaws but its basically a rig-proof system unlike the one in league

2024-12-07 15:17

FURIA propably wins unless FaZe wakes up NaVi easy sweep against HEROIC MIBR vs MOUZ is open, anyone can win here

I mean... The Na'Vi attending the major atm wouldn't even have gone 1-2 against spirit, they need to step up If Na'Vi keeps current level and Heroic keeps current level it's pretty much a 50/50 who wins
