ESL Major Series Playday two

Playday two is soon finished and the last postponed game is only waiting to be played. Day two was more than interesting and a couple surprises were presented. This obviously balanced the groups and made everything possible as the first eliminations are waiting to take a place.



Challenger appears


Playday two included lots of rivalry battles between the races. Only one mirror matchup was presented by Mondragon and sziky. 81% of the gosubetters predicted the German pride to win but Sziky proved all of them wrong and made sure that everyone should take him as a potential threat. That totally turned the situation in group A and made everyone feel uncomfortable when approaching to the last games. Let's take a look what happened in the other groups.

Playday 2
United States ChOseN < Italy ClouDWO
United States yosh< Ukraine White-Ra0-2
Ukraine Strelok> Sweden HayprO2-0
Germany Mondragon< Hungary sziky1-2
Poland Dreiven> Spain SquaLL2-0
United States iNcontroL> Poland Yayba2-1
Poland Legend> Sweden merz2-0
Hungary Ace> Canada IefNaij2-0

Group A


White-Ra beating yosh 2-0 made things more and more interesting since everyone still has a chance for advancement. The point difference between the players is zero so we will get the answer for all four question marks after playday 3.1.

Group B


The situation in group B is not more informative than the group A's. Strelok beat HayprO with a clear 2-0, but both of them also have a loss under their belts. ClouD taking WO from ChOseN means that ClouD will be standing on the first spot.

Group C


The group winner will be decided between MistrZZZ and iNControl. Luckily they will face each other at Monday and winner will take the best spot in the playoffs. Yayba and merz have already dropped so there is no stake in their game.

Group D


ToT vs MyM clanwar continues in Group D even though Dreiven is taking little distance and holds the first place with three points lead. He already has a spot in the playoffs but if he is going to proceed there from the first or from the second spot will be decided by Ace, who he is going to meet on playday 3.2. The second advancer is still open since Ace vs IefNaij is postponed to next Sunday.
