Spirit to face FURIA on day three in Bucharest

The matchups for day three of the PGL Masters Bucharest tournament have been confirmed. This day includes the first round matches and elimination matches for a place in the playoffs.

G2 enter the third round of the Swiss system in a difficult position. After losing to Natus Vincere and Aurora, the team will face DENDELE in the 0-2 pool, aiming to recover. 9z and TYLOO also meet each other so as not to be eliminated early.

Vitality and FUT will contest the 2-0 pool to advance to the playoffs. It is also a point of interest whether Álvaro SunPayus García, who must play five matches before the November 2 VRS deadline, will replace Nikita cmtry Samolotov in the Vitality lineup.

For Astralis, advancing unbeaten and then losing in the quarterfinals would be a major dead end. In that case, the Ukrainian player will appear on the invitation lists of both teams, and only one team will be able to accept that invitation.

Natus Vincere arrived in Bucharest under heavy pressure to secure a Major invitation. It appears they achieved this by beating G2 and FURIA. If they win against BETBOOM in the 2-0 pool, doubts could be fully dispelled, but Zagodyrenko, who is second with a 1.53 rating in Romania, does not guarantee a win.

The featured match of the 1-1 pool will be played between Spirit and FURIA. Spirit lost to BETBOOM in their opening match but showed a good recovery against TYLOO. The Last 1win Private Club Season 2 champion, The MongolZ, will try to recover after losing to Vitality against MOUZ. Aurora, meanwhile, hope to carry their form from the G2 match into the Nemiga match.
