Virtus.pro vs Astralis
Both teams are not in their best form, but it's a match for a playoff spot. Naturally, emotions run high, and this time electronic , on the second map with a score of 4:9 in his team's favor, considering they won the first map, emotionally reacted to an unsuccessful plant by a teammate.
In the next round, another interesting moment occurred with electronic , where he threw a molotov at his teammates' feet, stopping the round's start. Whether this was intentional or accidental remains unanswered.
Despite this, Virtus.pro easily dealt with Astralis and advanced to the playoffs of PGL Bucharest 2025, where they will face G2.
After the match, electronic commented on the incident, admitting that it's tough for him to deal with such mistakes, as sometimes one moment can change the entire outcome of a map:
It's mentally tough to lose such silly rounds. When you're playing on Train, losing just one round can ruin everything. It was our round, but we made such a mistake—that's why I reacted so emotionally
FaZe vs Apogee
The match wasn't particularly interesting to some, but they wanted to see Apogee against stronger opponents. The team, ranked in the top 45 of the Valve rankings, made it to a major tournament where they managed to win against The MongolZ and Astralis on lan . An interesting fact was that karrigan 's wife (FaZe's captain) works as a psychologist for Apogee . After FaZe's victory, the community started making a lot of jokes about this, but they sounded harsh.
The MongolZ vs Falcons
Both teams are not in their best form at this tournament. However, when looking at Falcons ' form, the rumors about degster 's departure can be considered, and when the team understands this, it's hard to play. Nonetheless, they came back from a 0-2 score in the Swiss system and made it to the playoffs. Meanwhile, The MongolZ simply failed at the tournament, which was unexpected for probably everyone.
On the last map of the match, there were many shocking moments, but Falcons stood out significantly. First, the map began with two won rounds by Falcons , where they made two aces in each, performed by TeSeS and degster .
There was also a ninja defuse by mzinho in overtime at a score of 14-12 in favor of Falcons , remaining in a 1v2 clutch. Commentators reacted simply: “Classic Falcons ,” which says it all.
