An exciting series between Entropiq and Heroic was concluded in favor of the underdog team, 2-1, to ensure their advancement to the Legends Stage where the likes of Natus Vincere, Liquid, and G2 await. Heroic was in a great spot to close out the series in two, having won their opponent's map pick of Ancient and taken a 6-1 lead on the T side of Nuke, but Dmitry "⁠hooch⁠" Bogdanov's men didn't give up. Fearless play on the offensive sides of Nuke and Mirage got Entropiq back into the game

The 25-year-old player exits the team after nine months, with further updates to the team expected soon. The German organization Sprout has announced the exit of Marko "⁠kressy⁠" Đorđević from their lineup following the conclusion of the RMR cycle and ESEA Premier Season 38. Sprout peaked at No. 21 in the world ranking in March, a few months into kressy's tenure, but the team struggled after the summer break as they dropped out of the top 30, failing to make a mark in premier tournaments such as the IEM Cologne

G2, who have had a rough start to the second season of 2021 following the summer break can breathe a little bit more freely having secured a spot at the IEM Fall playoffs and a berth at the Major which will be taking place later in the month. Nemanja "⁠nexa⁠" Isaković and company did so by defeating what many thought would be their main rivals going into the group stage, mousesports, in the last day of play, although it had already been Copenhagen Flames who stole the show in Group

NIP have punched their ticket to the PGL Major with a resounding victory over fnatic as Fiend took out DBL PONEY, one of the requirements other than the Swedish team’s victory to secure a spot on Counter-Strike’s biggest stage. FaZe are now leading the rest of the pack with three wins and are close to the playoffs, but a loss to Fiend could leave them in third place behind the Bulgarians in what will be a crucial final day match for both outfits. SKADE's prospects look grim, as they sit

Two of the three Group B teams expected to tally three points in their IEM Fall opening matches did so, as Heroic and Astralis claimed solvent victories, but Complexity came out on the wrong end of a close map against Sinners. Heroic’s victory was played in a strange match on Dust 2 against Movistar Riders, a map neither of the teams play regularly, while Astralis beat an Endpoint playing with Sabit "⁠mirbit⁠" Coktasar standing in for Mohammad "⁠BOROS⁠" Malhas, who wasn’t able to secure a visa in time to attend

G2 have defeated MIBR in a clear-cut 2-0 series in the opening match of Group B at BLAST Premier Fall Groups, moving on to Tuesday's upper final to play for a spot at the Fall Final against the winner of the NIP-BIG encounter. The series against the Brazilians sees the European side secure their first win since they returned from the summer break last month. After finishing the last season with a streak of five consecutive top-four finishes and a grand final appearance at IEM Cologne, G2 exited ESL Pro

Astralis have started their BLAST Premier Fall Groups run with a win, taking Evil Geniuses out 2-0 with victories on Dust2 (16-11) and Nuke (16-10) with Andreas "⁠Xyp9x⁠" Højsleth back in the lineup as Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander is taking leave ahead of the birth of his first child, which tasks Emil "⁠Magisk⁠" Reif with in-game leadership. Evil Geniuses weren’t expected to come out guns blazing and the loss comes as no surprise, however, as the European-North American lineup is playing with a makeshift lineup featuring coach Damian "⁠daps⁠" Steele and

Fiend completed the TWR Eastern European Masters Fall gauntlet undefeated to secure a spot at the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown. One of the early upsets in the qualifier was the elimination of Eternal Fire in the group stage. The Turks beat BLUEJAYS to start things off but then fell to Fiend and ultimately went out after the decider match in Group B, where they lost to a vengeful BLUEJAYS. In the other group, Group A, it was favorites Sinners who topped the group after recently playing at the top level
