AMKAL and KOI are the first two teams to bid farewell to the PGL Copenhagen Major after their third consecutive loss in the tournament, while Cloud9 and Heroic celebrate their passage to the main stage of the competition.
Although they came into the tournament as one of the teams expected to fight for the main stage of the competition, KOI said goodbye to the Major right at the start. They were successively defeated by SAW, ENCE and finally FURIA in tonight's battle for survival.
How harmless KOI was is best shown by the fact that they never managed to reach a double-digit number of rounds (6-13 Overpass, 9-13 Vertigo), and Yuri "yuurih" Santos, who finished the match with 38 frags and 1.44, gave them trouble. rating, and Andrei "arT" Piovezen who made seven frags less. Both players dealt 100 damage per round on average for the entire match.
TheMongolz stayed in play to advance, defeating AMKAL in another 0-2 clash of teams. They opened the match with a convincing 13-2 win on Nuke, AMKAL equalized with a 13-8 triumph on Miraage, and the rarely seen Major Inferno ended in TheMnogolz's favor with a 13-10 score.
In the third round derby, Heroic defeated Eternal Fire 2-0, and the first map Vertigo went into overtime where Heroic won 16-14. On the opponent's peak, the Mirage map, they were much more convincing and with a score of 13-7 they put an end to their participation in the first stage of the competition, securing a 3-0 result and passing on.
Cloud9 got revenge on Team SAW for their BLAST Showdown loss, but only after a long and hard fight. It took three overtimes on Nuke for C9 to take a 1-0 lead, and on Anubis a great T side gave them a 13-9 victory despite trailing 5-7 at halftime.
