The International 10 might be missing an audience, but OG’s off laner and heart of the team, Ceb, won’t be missing it. The European organization announced the news today, along with a 10-minute mini-documentary charting Ceb’s road to TI10 and his relationships with his family. An upcoming episode featuring the team’s star carry, SumaiL, was teased at the end of the video. “Once again proving himself as a role model of dedication to his craft, Ceb is gonna be playing TI10,” the post from OG reads. OG initially announced on

It was a quick day at the office for Vitality as their victory against Dignitas, combined with OG's defeat to MAD Lions, secured the Frenchmen a top 2 finish in Group C and a ticket to the Major. OG fans do not need to panic yet, as Aleksi "⁠Aleksib⁠" Virolainen and co. can still secure a spot at the Major through the 9th-12th place decider, requiring ninth place to guarantee a spot in Stockholm at the end of the month and at least 11th place to have any chance. Despite

FaZe losing to Fiend opens a world of possibilities for the two teams moving forward. The Bulgarians have already ensured that they will have a chance and will aim for a sixth-place finish to guarantee themselves a spot in Stockholm, while FaZe are now up against the ropes, required to at least finish 11th in the 9th-12th decider bracket to have a chance at qualification and relying on other results going their way. The Major dream has been squashed for SKADE and DBL PONEY in the meantime, as both teams

The IEM Fall Europe group stage is heading into the final round of matches, where it is still almost all to play for. Out of the 24 teams, three are already confirmed to play in the playoffs — NIP, Copenhagen Flames, and Astralis — while five more are out of the running entirely with fnatic, AURA, Endpoint, MAD Lions, and Sprout no longer able to place in the top three in their respective groups. A win over Fiend would nearly guarantee FaZe a Major spot Any of the other 16

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

ENCE sought to blow Group C wide open as they spectacularly upset Vitality 16-8 on Mirage. This puts both teams at 3-1 in the group along with OG, and it is now very likely that we will end Group C with a three way tie for first between these teams. This case would be favourable for all three teams, as it keeps all three on track to potentially qualify for Stockholm, regardless of how the final standings between them shake out. ENCE are the team out of the three that

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 .

fnatic saw their already fading hopes of qualifying for the Major extinguished after a disappointing loss to Fiend as other results went against them. It has been a rough event for ALEX and his fnatic squad This leaves fnatic unable to make playoffs, and unable to secure a favourable tiebreaker for third in the group, even if they win their remaining games. After a disappointing showing at this event it will be back to the drawing board for Alex "⁠ALEX⁠" McMeekin and co. With their hard-fought 16-14 victory over SKADE,

Vitality have taken the lead in IEM Fall Group C as the only undefeated team after three rounds. OG, ENCE, and Dignitas are now tied for second place, with all three sitting on 2-1 records, while MAD Lions and Sprout have been locked out of playoffs contention at 0-3 each. Both MAD Lions and Sprout are now on the brink of elimination from the tournament outside of the points, as each would need to win both of their remaining matches and other results to go their way to enter tiebreaking
