The four remaining teams in the American and EU qualifiers are a best-of-three and a best-of-five victory away from receiving a portion of the $250,000 prize pool and a ticket to the ESL One Manila LAN finals held in Manila, Philippines on the 22nd to 24th of April.
It is hard to call the these two series. In the Vega vs Na'Vi best-of-three, their match history show that Na'Vi is the favored one fthis time aroundhaving won three of the four games they played against Vega this year.
The Empire vs London Conspiracy match is equally hard to call as Empire - a historically stronger team than LC - has recently lost their world renowned mid-player, Roman 'Resolut1on' Fominok, and LC is on a hot streak, taking down Team Liquid 1-0 and Team Spirit 2-0 recently. Whether the recent roster change for Empire will weaken them enough for LC's momentum to trample them is hard to decide.
The American qualifier in yet another bracket that is hard to call. In the Complexity vs DC match, DC are slightly favored. This year, the two teams are 2-2 in matches against each other, with DC achieving both their victories with a 2-0 score and coL achieving theirs with 2-1 score. Also in DC's favor is their recent pick up of Resolut1on after he left Empire.
As for the E.Wolves vs Archon match, their past matchup history this year is 3-2, in favor of E.Wolves. In terms of official games won and lost, the teams are 5-5 and have a win rate against other teams around 70% this month, making this potentially the most even matchup within the ESL One Manila EU and American qualifiers.
