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

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

Copenhagen Flames continued their sensational run at IEM Fall by securing their playoff berth and first place in the group with yet another impressive victory, this time comfortably besting mousesports on Nuke. Whilst this gives them a fantastic chance of reaching the Major, the minimum requirement being a top 10 finish, it is not yet guaranteed; they would need to finish in the top six to put qualification beyond doubt at the moment. HooXi's team have been the surprise package of the event thus far Whilst the result will be

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 .

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

G2 continue to show great form at IEM Fall with a solid victory over BIG and now sit at the top of Group A alongside the lesser Copenhagen Flames, who beat FunPlus Phoenix and AURA to get their 2-0 record after two days of play. BIG started their very tough IEM Fall opening matchups with two losses in the first days of play to mousesports and G2, and will now hope to get some wins against some of the lesser opposition to remain in contention in an uphill battle for

ENCE was at the centre of another brawl, as their game against OG extended all the way to a fourth set of overtime before it saw Aleksi "⁠Aleksib⁠" Virolainen's men being crowned victors. Vitality had a close game of their own after surviving a Sprout comeback which brought the game to round number 30 on the main stream. Dignitas had the most comfortable night so far, shaking off yesterday's close loss against ENCE and taking their first win at IEM Fall Europe by defeating MAD Lions in what was the

Vitality and OG went on a speedrun in their IEM Fall Group C opening matches with incredibly one-sided first halves to set up their best-of-one victories, while ENCE and Dignitas brawled on the main stream. OG’s match was particularly important as Casper "⁠ruggah⁠" Due’s men sit 50 points behind Sprout, the team they beat, with both currently holding the two Contender slots in the European Regional Major Ranking. ENCE, who have shown gleams of potential since returning from the player break and now sit at No.17 in the world ranking,

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
