That grand final almost looked like a 3-0 angle for Tundra, but Aurora showed signs of life after the next two games, and was very close to forcing a game five until that unlucky tech pause happened on the side of Aurora.

Interesting that the PGL organizers gave the next slot to Vici Gaming, and I guess it should've been Nigma Galaxy, but they couldn't field a full team in time after they released SumaiL.

The scoreline made it look like it was a close 2-0 game, but it was just Parivision toying with Pain.  

As for the NiP game, I had a hunch they'll somehow disappoint despite being the favored team. I don't know what's up with them, but that series felt like a 3-0 for M80.

The descent for G2 continues, though on the bright side, they didn't lose to Gaimin Gladiators, unlike Team Liquid.

At least that they have still shown some life there, I've read some interview about that win that 33 said that it was just a usual win and they don't much celebrate about it. As there will be more tournaments to come, they'll now focusing in it.

Yeah, sumail is no longer Nigma Galaxy. That prodigy kid before, he's now a legend. I don't know if he's still going to play for some team. I remember his brother yawar that's just gone in the scene eventually but I hope he won't end up like his bro.

The match between Parivision and Monte is currently underway, and Parivision is winning. I was analyzing their campaign, and yesterday they lost to Legacy. It was a very close match in the ESL Pro League Season 23 Stage 1. Will the teams have enough material to analyze Jame's team?

The top teams will have one less team to worry about now that Parivision failed to advance after losing the decider series against Heroic yesterday. The others said it's for the better, because they looked frustrated in those losing series and needed some time off after participating in every top tier event.



Looking at the VRS leaderboard, they're not that far off from BC team and maybe it's only a matter of having one good run before they start overtaking them and reach top 30.

There was a video was watching earlier about CS news and they had reported that 100T spent $400k on obtaining Rain and they are higher on this leaderboard than BC.game who paid $2.5m for S1mple.
That just goes to show you that it just doesn't take paying all this money for a supposedly great player in making a great top team.

Navi ended up beating Monte by a 2-1 map result. They did look good against Parivision the other day.
So they kept this one with them a close one.
Aurora gaming are currently ahead of Legacy by a map but I wouldn't doubt they lose this second map being down 7-5. As Aurora's performance has been lacking every tournament they have played this year so far.

The matches I am looking forward to scheduled for later on today are:
G2 vs Faze
The Mongolz vs paiN
FURIA vs B8

Most of the favorites delivered as expected, except for Furia, which was more of a limit test to see if they could still keep up without Fallen.



Same thoughts, you can't expect them to win it all. Every other team that kept delivering good results eventually faced the same fate since fatigue is no joke when you have to fly constantly. Being prepared can only do so much, and it isn't always enough when our bodies still have their own limitation.

Faze clan are in a bad place for this ESL Pro League.
First losing to G2 yesterday and now to paiN, so don't know if they will get anywhere in this tournament.

Matches that are in progress are Navi vs G2 where they are about to level it a map each.
The other match currently being played is Legacy vs Monte who are just about to win the first map up 11-4.
Legacy have been the surprise team in the tournament for me so far.

Next up are the following teams:
MOUZ vs Astralis
FUT vs Heroic
Spirit vs B8
FURIA vs 3DMax

Tundra really having a tough time this tournament. They were an unstoppage force the last I saw them in action and now everybody saying they are spent for this round out.
Wouldn't doubt that flights now cost that much not just for last minute tickets but for the situation around the world having to divert or straight out cancellations due to uncertainty.

As for CS2, Faze clan managed to dodge a bullet and win their match today against Monte.
They face off against Astralis tomorrow in the following rounds of this tournament.

They've won yesterday against Yellow Submarine and the odds isn't that much so I've skipped that. Today, they've lost against Aurora. We still have a lot of games to be played today and so, be ready on which games you're going to bet for today. I've also read that thing about parker's ticket after he missed his flight. Tundra has no choice but to just do that since there's not that much best option as of now and in their situation.
