In this case, definitely yes. Aurora should easily qualify for the playoffs. In any case, I was lucky with my opponent. And Aurora played enough for this playoffs with a reserve. I hope they can easily close it out 2-0 without any surprises. RE had a hard time closing VP. This time the opponent is three heads taller.

These Liquid guys are strange. The buttons still press well, but the strategies are very iffy. Such XG had to close 2-0 without a chance, but it was difficult. Spirit is in great shape, and they started playing with Miposhka more confidently. They have a larger pool, Larl does not sag, Collapse > ace. Everything is in favor of Spirit. Can Liquid give out a match of life? Yes of course they can. Do we believe this? Not much. Spirit wins with any score. I hope they can handle it.

Match of the day. Some will say that the sign is not as bright as the last one, but the match may turn out to be more even. BB allowed themselves both very bad cards and incredibly cool ones at the tournament. LGD can still draft very poorly. They won't get Huskar, they're unlikely to get Batrider. But LGD has the motivation to make up for the previous Int. You'll have to jump over your head. I think BB will definitely not lose 0-2, but they are capable of winning with such a score.

I don't think that VG's move to this stage will benefit the team. First they postponed, then completely canceled the series against Playtime. This all has an impact. Both teams played well in the group, but 1win are of course the favorites before the drafts. In this series, the main character can be 👤. Both of them are rated and both teams have not lost on it yet. Moreover, I’m waiting for the exchange of Lina for Invoker from VG. It was Invoker that Xm carried forward feet first twice. The main thing is not to get a series where the next European team will not leave a chance for VG and it will be boring.

Earlier, Rustam 'Adekvat' Mavlyutov commented on the situation with PlayTime at the Esports World Cup 2026, and also shared his expectations from today's matches.
