Další tři týmy Nemiga, Natus Vincere a 1win mají takřka stoprocentně jistý Major, takže se dá ke dnešnímu dni mluvit o tom, že 15 z 18 evropských slotů na Majoru je v podstatě již rozdaných. Osud tři zbývajících se rozkryje v tomhle týdnu a velkou měrou k tomu přispějí turnaje RLG Tesla Cup a Stake Ranked Episode 5.

Jako první startuje už v 9:00 turnaj v Srbsku, kde je všech osm účastníků ve hře o Major, přičemž žádný nemá účast stoprocentní. FaZe a B8 stačí umístění v TOP 3, ostatní potřebují bezpodmínečně vyhrát. Jedná se o týmy HOTU, Luminosity, Alliance, K27 a teoretické šance stále mají také Envy a GamerLegion.
RLG Tesla Cup začíná skupinovou fází po čtyřech týmech, takže už v ní se čtyři týmy se svými nadějemi rozloučí. FaZe a B8 se nacházejí v jedné skupině, kde jim plány budou chtít překazit Alliance a K27. FaZe může reálně Major zajistit i jediná výhra při nepostupu do play-off, spoléhat se na to ale chtít nebudou.
The EU major race: Things to watch out for today! - Will FaZe and B8 advance to playoffs today in Tesla Cup? - Will Nemiga take advantage of the „gift of the year“ with the Nemiga vs DENDELE match in the 1-2 bracket in PGL Bucharest? - Which lineup does Astralis field in Stake 5 and how will all the teams there do? FaZe and B8 are both in Tesla Cup and both currently hold one of most likely only 3 remaining spot in the EU major predictions that are still left to play for. They are in group A with Alliance and K27. FaZe and B8 both needs to advance and reach top 3 to be safe for the major invites. FaZe has the best odds though, as they also have good chances with just 1-2 or better for the event. B8 on the other hand really need top 3 in the event since already 4th place gets sketchy in prediction. If both teams advance today it is really bad news for the teams at the other events hoping for a spot, since there is then only really 1 spot left, if Nemiga also wins the DENDELE match as well. The whole Astralis saga has been mentioned a lot already. Let's see if they are allowed to play with Jabii instead of cmtry. That would solve their risks of getting roster locked with cmtry. If not we have full on drama! Also lets watch out for which teams at Stake 5 will win the opening matches and start a run for a major invite. The winner of the event very likely takes a spot if it is not Astralis and MIBR. Let's see what happens today.

Přesuňme se do mnohem prosluněnější Barcelony, kde boje odstartují dnes v poledne. Na startovní listině Stake Ranked Episode 5 najdeme dva jisté účastníky Majoru spolu se šesti aspiranty, kterým zisk titul může Major skoro s jistotou zajistit. Astralis a MIBR mohou být naprosto v klidu, přesto mají v rukou velkou moc.
Tento turnaj se hraje Double Elimination formátem, ve kterém se o katapultování mezi evropskou osmáctku budou pokoušet magic, BIG, Inner Circle, fnatic, Eternal Fire a Nemesis. Každý den budou týmy odpadávat jako hrušky a jen ten nejlepší sklidí zasetou úradu. I druhé místo zde má ale u spousty scénářů velkou váhu.
Eternal Fire won DraculaN against last seasons biggest major surprise SINNERS! Maybe Eternal Fire will be this seasons big surprise? Or how about Inner Circle, fnatic or Nemesis? Unlikely? Statistically yes, but have a look at below table. 6 out of 8 teams at Stake Ranked would very likely take a major spot with an event win. That makes it the most likely scenario that Stake Ranked will reward at least 1 team with a major ticket and why wouldn't it just as well be Eternal Fire as any other team. If your favorite team are also still in contention but at another event you will hope for Astralis and MIBR to place 1st and 2nd here, because it would most likely wipe out 2 contenders for a major spot, you could also say 6 contenders, but yeah.. only 2 of them at best could take a spot, so technically 4 of the below teams are already out of the race, we just don't know which yet.. For those rooting for another team, then it is great news that HLTVs prediction tool has Astralis to win the event in 57% of its simulated seasons 😉
