SEE ALSO: The next 'CS:GO' Major is being hosted by ELeague in AtlantaSK Gaming, Na'Vi, Virtus.pro, G2 Esports, Team Liquid, Fnatic, OpTic Gaming and Astralis battled for spots in the semifinals Sunday, and the stakes were high even from the first match. In the end, Na'Vi, SK Gaming, Team Liquid and Virtus.pro moved onto the playoffs.
Coming in with two losses each, OpTic Gaming and G2 Esports went head-to-head to continue in the tournament. OpTic Gaming came out hot, shutting down G2 at every corner, including this three-kill clutch from OpTic's Rush.
OpTic destroyed G2 16-7, sending the French team packing and getting another chance at making it to the playoffs.
In the second match between Fnatic and Astralis, Fnatic was looking good with its three new players, Wenton, Lekr0 and Tw1st. But the true stars of the match were the veterans: Olofmesiter and Dennis. Between the two, the rounds came easy for Fnatic, sending Astralis to the losers' group with a 16-9 win.
The third match was a battle of titans: SK Gaming vs. Na'Vi. SK Gaming was in full force with the return of Fer and Na'Vi was looking to show off its latest player, S1mple. Na'Vi swept the floor with SK Gaming, beating them in a fast 16-6 match and securing the first spot in the playoffs.
Back in the losers' group, OpTic Gaming was on the brink of being knocked out again but pulled off a close win against Astralis, sending them home and moving onto the final round before playoffs. OpTic dominated the first half but were having a tough time in the second half, until a smoke-filled skirmish put OpTic back in the driver's seat, winning 16-12.
For match five, Team Liquid made its weekend debut against Fnatic. Liquid started off with an early 7-1 lead but Fnatic got on a roll and took the first half. Fnatic kept the momentum going in the second half, going up 14-7 until Team Liquid turned it on and went on an unstoppable streak. With the crowd chanting in support, Liquid went on an 8-0 run to take the match.
One of the most anticipated matches of the night was next, with Virtus.pro and SK Gaming battling for a spot in the semifinals. The first half was close but SK got a lead on VP in the second half and didn't let up, winning 16-8 and securing their spot on Sunday, sending VP to the final round of play.
With two matches left for the last two spots, Team Liquid found themselves against Fnatic once again -- not only that, the teams picked the same map, Dust2. Team Liquid started off strong with the crowd behind them again, racking up a 7-0 lead until Fnatic thwarted a move on bombsite B, shifting the momentum to the Swedish team.
It didn't last long, as Team Liquid pulled the game back in their favor. With a big 12-3 lead going into the second half, the pistol round was perhaps one of the most exciting with a smokey, post-plant loss from Fnatic.
Fnatic got on a roll after that, winning several rounds until a molotov that justmissed its mark allowed Elige to mow down half of Fnatic to put Liquid up 14-8.
The rest of the match was close as Fnatic pulled closer to Liquid but it wasn't enough. Liquid took the match 16-12, heading to semifinals and sending Fnatic home.
The final match of the night was Virtus.pro against OpTic Gaming. It started evenly but VP pulled ahead. The match stayed close the entire night, but Virtus.pro managed to squeak by and secure their spot in the semifinals with a 16-14 win.
The semifinals and finals start Sunday at 11 a.m. ET and will be broadcast live on Twitch and the ESL website.
