PGL Masters Bucharest quarter-final matchups are set

The playoff bracket for PGL Masters Bucharest has been decided. The quarter-final matches will be played on Thursday. The tournament's last playoff spot went to Natus Vincere, who beat Spirit convincingly in the Swiss-system group stage.

The most eye-catching match in the single-elimination bracket is MOUZ against Aurora. Both teams have reached deep runs back to back this season with their new rosters and have settled into the top five of the world rankings. The two sides, with their new lineups, will face each other for the first time.

BETBOOM and FURIA are also on the same side of the bracket. The two teams met in a five-map match in the Thunderpick World Championship final. They will be opponents again in the quarter-finals.

On the other side of the bracket, the tournament's surprise, Nemiga, will face FUT. Astralis wants FUT to win, because that result could mean Nikita "cmtry" Samolotov is able to leave the team for the PGL Singapore Major.

There is also a rematch between Vitality and Natus Vincere. Vitality lost a one-sided match to them in the group stage and will be looking for revenge this time.
