Update 18:38 : Corrected the last Group A bullet point. G2 and mousesports both winning would only lock FunPlus Phoenix and AURA out. BIG would be only locked out of contention for top three if they lost to AURA in that case. Update 18:12 : Fiend losing their match would see them place in the bottom three in any scenario and outside of contention for the Major. Round four of IEM Fall Europe, the final Regional Major Ranking tournament ahead of PGL Major Stockholm, is kicking off at 19:00 .

CSGOPhoto courtesy of mynewsdeskTeam Liquid against Astralis is one of the most one-sided rivalries between top teams in the history of competitive Counter-Strike, spanning CS 1.6 and CS:GO. Spanning almost six years, the two teams have faced off all across the phases of tournaments and around the world, with many roster moves along the way on both sides, but the theme has been consistent and that has been Astralis winning and in total Astralis dominating.Liquid does not stand alone as the Washington Generals to Astralis' Harlem Globetrotters, though.

On the A stream we had mousesports taking on BIG on Mirage, and it was not a good time for the Germans. The first half saw BIG start on the CT side, and a dynamic approach with plenty of unique aggression, which included solo AWP pushes through underpass, should have netted them a big half. The sheer individual skill of mousesports prevented this from happening, with Aurimas "⁠Bymas⁠" Pipiras in particular shining on T side, and the half ended 8-7. 18-year old rifler jabbi produced the pick of the first

For some, it was a second chance to make a living in esports, while others wanted to try their luck at something new. The Dane posted a highlight reel of his own plays in VALORANT on Twitter today, announcing his
