Party Astronauts ended their Fragadelphia 15 campaign this past weekend as the runner-ups to Bad News Bears, falling just short of completing a comeback from an 0-2 deficit in the best-of-five grand final. However, the result still earned them a spot in Fragadelphia Fall, North America's regional qualifier for the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown, where they are currently rematching Bad News Bears in the Group B decider match in hopes of making the playoffs. Party Astronauts are one of the few contending North American rosters left playing in the region,

This week, Special Olympics athletes will be competing against each other in tournaments of Rocket League, Madden NFL 22 and Forza Motorsport 7. The prize, other than prestige and pride, is playing with one of the Special Olympics’ celebrity supporters:

"It was hard to hear we are the second team in the world." Abay "⁠Hobbit⁠" Khasenov says the words with a smile on his face, but there is more than a hint of frustration behind them. Whilst many players and teams would be thrilled to feature at the #2 spot in the HLTV rankings coming out of the player break, Gambit do not count themselves as one of those teams. They have good reason not to. It would be fair to argue that 2021 has been Gambit's year so far,

Going into the tournament, the international squad seemed as they would have to navigate a tough group with two top 5 teams in Virtus.pro and G2, as well as Complexity, but OG’s two main competitors didn’t show up and Complexity had to field a substitute, which ended up with Casper "⁠ruggah⁠" Due’s men only dropping two maps, one each against forZe and Sinners.

Coming in as a last-minute replacement for Oceanic representatives Renegades, few saw forZe as a team that would make playoffs, especially having been placed in group B alongside one of the tournament favorites, G2. Andrey "⁠Jerry⁠" Mekhryakov's men went on to lose just one series in the group, to OG, and qualify for playoffs in second place, which sets them up for a round-of-12 clash with ENCE. In a press conference ahead of the playoffs, the Russian squad discussed their improvements since adding Aleksandr "⁠KENSI⁠" Gurkin and Aleksandr "⁠zorte⁠" Zagodyrenko,

ENCE made it through the ESL Pro League group stage, leaving teams like Astralis and Spirit in their wake, and proving a lot of people doubting the international squad wrong. Now, Eetu "⁠sAw⁠" Saha’s men are facing forZe on Wednesday at 16:00 to continue showing that they are a team worthy of the playoffs at one of the top events in the calendar. Marco "⁠Snappi⁠" Pfeiffer and company were in Group A and played their group stage matches nearly a month ago, however, which could be a hindrance for the
