What’s worse than The MongolZ without Senzu?

Liquid with their full roster, apparently.

The MongolZ, fresh off losing to Imperial, came in to beat Liquid and send them to the 0-2 bracket. We’re honestly quite sick of talking about Liquid being pants, but they keep being pants, so we have no choice. They got paddled in the opening round by Spirit, with donk and sh1ro picking up 54 kills.

In a 13-8.

They’re joined in the 0-2 bracket by 3DMAX, who in fairness had to play Vitality in an 0-1 game, and PARIVISION, who lost a tight game to MOUZ and a less tight game to NAVI. That’s kinda fair enough - sometimes you just lose to a really good team.

The same goes for Passion UA, who lost to G2 and then Falcons. You might be wondering why Vitality, Falcons and NAVI were even in the 0-1 bracket, and the answer might surprise you.

They all lost their opening game.

NAVI lost to FURIA (again, fair enough), Vitality lost to FaZe, who are the most confusing team in the entire world right now, and Falcons lost to B8, which is less defensible but not entirely awful. B8 are no mugs, they’re just… not a tier one team.

Which is why MOUZ smacked ‘em to go 2-0, alongside Spirit who managed to overcome the FaZe voodoo thanks to some vintage chopper MAC-10’ing and donk, again, being the best player in the world.

G2 also ended up 2-0, beating the aforementioned Passion UA and then paiN, who had beaten 3DMAX. FURIA destroyed Imperial to join them. All makes sense.

So far, there’s not really been any massive surprises, but things are bubbling away under the surface nicely. With FaZe, Falcons, Vitality and NAVI all in the 1-1 bracket, there’s bound to be some drama today.

That leaves a fantastic slate of matches today, with the picks of the bunch, in our opinion, being:

FURIA vs G2 (2-0)

MOUZ vs Spirit (2-0)

FaZe vs The MongolZ (1-1)

B8 vs Vitality (1-1)

Team Liquid vs Passion UA (0-2)

Every game has some jeopardy or story tied to it, and personally, we cannot wait for another day of the Major. What a time to be alive.
