Movistar Riders, one of three underdogs alongside Copenhagen Flames and Fiend that made the IEM Fall playoffs, have now punched their ticket for PGL Major Stockholm, becoming the first Spanish lineup to achieve the feat. They did so by beating Copenhagen Flames in the 5-8th place decider bracket, where the Danes will have one last chance at securing their own spot to the event in Stockholm. Fiend will have their own chance at qualifying when they go up against G2, who already have a berth in the Major but are

Astralis have punched their ticket to the Major with a victory over Complexity, while Sinners, who were also 3-0 going into the fourth day of play, missed a chance at securing a berth in the playoffs and may have to fight with two more teams in the group for the coveted second place if they can't beat Astralis in the final day of play.

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 .

Endpoint are out of contention for playoffs, as they will not be able to earn enough points to qualify for the Major due to their 20% points reduction for using a stand-in, having required at least a top-eight finish to have a chance.

Meanwhile, in one of the
