Legends no more
The biggest surprise today has to be Astralis being knocked out in the early morning stages. The dane powerhouse was a surprised upset after being favored by nearly 96% to achieve legend status but finising overall 1-3 with their only victory coming against a weak North team who was knocked out earlier in the tournament after failing to earn a victory along with top Polish squad Virtus Pro. BIG was also a huge surprise after qualifying for semi-finals at Krakow they fell 1-3 looking like back down to earth after the crouch jump fiasco. Gambit fell short after a strong showing beating former IGL Zeus's new old squad NaVi 16-5 then falling short to both SK Gaming and Fnatic knocking them out of Legend status contentions.
New Legends arise
It's hard to believe how OP FaZe clan is and how fast they achieved that status. After finishing 1st in 3 out of the last 6 and it seems they have picked up where they left off finishing the group stages a dominant 3-0 earning their spot along side the talented G2 team. They have finally become what everyone wanted them to be, it just took a little time. They were the first team to earn legend status dominated all teams in their way. Shox and KennyS leading the team in dominant fashion. After finally achieving his goal and winning a major Zeus returned to his former squad to bring them one, NaVi has been looking great, finishing group stages 3-1. Cloud9 started slow, falling 0-2 looking lost. The team never gave up and have fought their way into the playoffs winning their last 3 making them legends. Our biggest surprise would have to be QBFire their play has been brilliant, I look forward to seeing what they can do as the Darkhorse of this tournament, its great to see new faces in the playoffs.
Top 2
The only two teams to retain Legend status were SK Gaming and Fnatic, what a wild ride its been. Playoffs should be great! stick around for my predictions!
