Stage 2 recap
Here’s a little tip: if you’re going to play against Jame in a BO1, don’t let him play Overpass.
We don’t care who you are, how good you are at Overpass, what the rest of your map pool looks like - don’t pick Overpass.
Aurora learnt that lesson today as they lost to Jame and his four minions, whom he said he pulled from the street (not even a misquote), by letting him play the map he won a Major maining. Aurora aren’t brilliant, but they should be better than street gamers and their tall, hairy, hippie leader.
PARIVISION move into the 2-1 bracket because they beat Liquid and lost to TYLOO (?), where they are joined by Imperial, who somehow have found themselves winning games again. We’ll see where they land in the BO3s, but a win over fnatic is not to be sniffed at.
You’ll never guess who topfragged in a fnatic loss. Again.
Their other win was against MIBR, which doesn’t really count. Even Passion UA beat them, and they lost to 3DMAX to put themselves in the 1-2 bracket. We’d be amazed if they win a BO3 - they have looked pretty awful in both losses.
M80 are also, perhaps surprisingly, in the 2-1 bracket, having beaten TYLOO and Astralis. It is markedly less impressive once you realise that’s who they beat, but you can only beat what’s in front of you.
The other 1-2 teams are obviously Astralis and Liquid who won their 0-2 games, but if you want to know the other 2-1 teams you’ll have to read about the 2-0 games below.
That’s how they get ya.
