As the victor of Group B, Fnatic is the third team to qualify for the offline playoffs of EMS One Summer. Group C will proceed as usual today with Mousesports waiting in the winner bracket final.
Fnatic defeated RoX.KIS in the first round and Infernity in the second round of Group B to become the third team to qualify for the offline finals of EMS One in Poland next month. Joining Fnatic are Evil Geniuses, winner of the American qualifier through disqualification, and winner of Group A Quantic Gaming.
Qualified teams so far:
Evil Geniuses
Quantic Gaming
Fnatic
The remaining teams in Group B will play one another in the loser bracket in order to qualify for the playoffs. The loser bracket will begin on the 26th of June.
As one would expect, RoX.KIS, runner-up of the first EMS One, did not play the games yesterday with Alexey 'Solo' Berezin who is currently under investigation for match fixing and illegal betting. RoX.KIS lost both their games yesterday with Maxim 'TpoH' Vernikov standing-in.
While the games for Group B were going on, Group C has started with only one match played between Mousesports and 4FC. Initially scheduled for 18:00 CEST today, Mousesports was able to overcome the Swedish team and advanced into the winner bracket final of the group. Mousesports is due to play the winner of Alliance versus Rat in the Dark today.
The official schedule has not been released and is expected to be hours before 18:00 CEST. If the last few days were any indication, Alliance versus Rat in the Dark should start at 18:00 CEST followed by the winner bracket final at 21:00 CEST.
-Update-
As it appears, the group C games have been postponed. We will update you when EMS schedules it.
