Metizport among four teams eliminated after day one of DraculaN S2 playoffs

The Swedes failed to win a single map against Nexus and FlyQuest.

A busy first day of DraculaN Season 2's main event is in the rearview, seeing Metizport, MANA, m1x, and HyperSpirit eliminated following losses in the lower bracket.

25/09/2025	m1x Finished 0:2 AM	Match

Metizport are the clear standouts among the list as the eighth-highest-ranked team in the top 16, heading home after performances several players on the team described as disappointing in post-elimination posts on X.

The Swedes fumbled 12-6 and 9-4 leads in their opener against Nexus to lose the series 0-2, and couldn't get anything going against a red-hot Corey "⁠nettik⁠" Browne (1.95 rating) in the lower bracket as FlyQuest handed them a swift elimination.

Metizport were already firmly out of contention for a Major spot before the two games, but will lament losing the chance to score some valuable VRS points with attention now turning towards Fragadelphia Blocktober next weekend.

FlyQuest won't walk away from the day with their heads held high, either, having stumbled in their own opener against the VRS-unranked BASEMENT BOYS. The Aussies were the top seed in playoffs but found themselves reverse-swept by the Ukraine-majority team, nearly completing a comeback from 4-8 down on the Mirage decider only to fall in overtime.

All the other top seeds lived up to their billing in the upper bracket and advanced to the quarter-finals, although Reason, SINNERS, and ECSTATIC needed all three maps to get the job done.

Nathan "⁠NBK-⁠" Schmitt''s newly signed GenOne roster faltered against Zero Tenacity in the upper bracket but kept their tournament run alive by eliminating MANA in the lower bracket. AM, who pushed OG the distance on two maps, also stayed alive by beating m1x, and BIG Academy saw off HyperSpirit to conclude the day.
