z4kr 1v5s paiN as Lynn Vision secure FPG playoffs

GamerLegion also topped their group by defeating SAW.

Lynn Vision have made FISSURE Playground playoffs after impressive wins over 3DMAX and paiN.

Beating two top 15 teams, one of whom made the semi-finals in Austin, will go a long way to proving Yifei "⁠GUM⁠" Dai's troops can maintain and improve the level that took them to a 12th-place finish at the Major.

Sike "⁠z4kr⁠" Zhang's last-second 1v5, a play of the year contender, will also ensure that a group stage match with no elimination on the line will be remembered for a while yet.

But the clutch came when LVG led 8-1 on the decider: The damage was done beforehand, with another great z4kr showing on Dust2 and help from his teammates throughout.

Junjie "⁠EmiliaQAQ⁠" Tang, in particular, was in great form with a Dust2 Deagle clip and an ace on Nuke, while it was Zhe "⁠Westmelon⁠" Niu who dominated at the start of Anubis.

paiN must now drop to the lower bracket decider against 3DMAX to remain in the tournament.

Kursy makes playoffs on GL debut

GamerLegion also booked their ticket to the Sava Centar with a win over SAW.

"Yesterday everyone was a bit stressed for our first game after the break," Oldřich "⁠PR⁠" Nový said to Pala "⁠Pala⁠" Gilroy Sen post-game. "Today we came pretty confident from round one."

GamerLegion made three playoffs before the break (Dallas, Melbourne, Bucharest) but lost in the quarter-finals of each, leading PR to quip: "Maybe it's finally time to win a game in the playoffs."

Erik "⁠ztr⁠" Gustafsson had a 0-12 half against Wildcard yesterday but the Swedish captain put that behind him with a 23-frag and 93 ADR showing on Nuke. Then, it was PR's turn as he ended Ancient on 107 ADR with a 4k to close the map.

The result sets up a rematch between SAW and FURIA in the lower bracket to see who will join GL in the arena.
