Now, it&#8217;s a chance for one of these teams to get their first win at this tournament and have an opportunity to keep their way in\u00a0<strong>ESL Pro League 19<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Natus Vincere vs. BIG<\/h3>\n<div class=\"_44tKOV3EvA2Ivv21VkJmnQ==\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/e1239e27a6e463b1.jpeg\"> <span><\/span><\/div>\n<p class=\"lNHCeuVfx3n+4j-MEOe3bg==\"><em>Natus Vincere vs. BIG &#8211; ESL Pro League 19<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The best team in the world,\u00a0<strong>Natus Vincere<\/strong>, is facing\u00a0<strong>BIG<\/strong>.\u00a0<strong>BIG\u00a0<\/strong>shows they are in good shape now, but<strong>\u00a0Natus Vincere<\/strong>\u00a0is another level team. Considering that this match is for a spot at the playoff stage,\u00a0<strong>Natus Vincere<\/strong>\u00a0doesn&#8217;t have that chance, so it will be hard for BIG to surprise such an experienced opponent.<\/p>\n<h3>PERA vs. Ninjas in Pyjamas<\/h3>\n<div class=\"_44tKOV3EvA2Ivv21VkJmnQ==\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"undefined?q=30&amp;auto=format\"> <span><\/span><\/div>\n<p class=\"lNHCeuVfx3n+4j-MEOe3bg==\"><em>PERA vs. Ninjas in Pyjamas &#8211; ESL Pro League 19<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Underdog European mix\u00a0<strong>PERA\u00a0<\/strong>against\u00a0<strong>NiP, who have<\/strong>\u00a0yet to prove what their new roster is capable of. Both teams had strong opponents in their first matches, and now it&#8217;s each team&#8217;s chance to show who is the better team at this moment and to keep themselves in\u00a0<strong>ESL Pro League 19<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Complexity vs. HEROIC<\/h3>\n<div class=\"_44tKOV3EvA2Ivv21VkJmnQ==\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"undefined?q=30&amp;auto=format\"> <span><\/span><\/div>\n<p class=\"lNHCeuVfx3n+4j-MEOe3bg==\"><em>Complexity vs. HEROIC &#8211; ESL Pro League 19<\/em><\/p>\n<p>These two teams met before at the\u00a0<strong>PGL Major<\/strong>, and Complexity won that match in a rollercoaster with a 19-17 score. Now, they have a chance to take their revenge, and they seem to be in pretty good shape to do so. Since this match is for the playoff spot, both teams will give their all in this game, so it should be interesting to watch.<\/p>\n<h3>ENCE vs. Monte<\/h3>\n<div class=\"_44tKOV3EvA2Ivv21VkJmnQ==\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/103b2ce84793f4cf.jpeg\"> <span><\/span><\/div>\n<p class=\"lNHCeuVfx3n+4j-MEOe3bg==\"><em>ENCE vs. Monte &#8211; ESL Pro League 19<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Both teams are in shaky form now.\u00a0<strong>ENCE\u00a0<\/strong>isn&#8217;t\u00a0a consistent team\u00a0yet, and Monte is still a new mix of players. They\u00a0must get used to each other before showing\u00a0their actual level.\u00a0This match result will probably depend on which team will be on their good day.<\/p>\n<h3>GamerLegion vs. FORZE<\/h3>\n<div class=\"_44tKOV3EvA2Ivv21VkJmnQ==\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/5df5b31f60cd703d.jpeg\"> <span><\/span><\/div>\n<p class=\"lNHCeuVfx3n+4j-MEOe3bg==\"><em>GamerLegion vs. FORZE &#8211; ESL Pro League 19<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>FORZE\u00a0<\/strong>completely demolished\u00a0<strong>FURIA\u00a0<\/strong>with a\u00a0<strong>13-0 score<\/strong>\u00a0on a second map and closed the series with\u00a0<strong>a 2-0 score<\/strong>, which shows that\u00a0<strong>FORZE\u00a0<\/strong>is on its way, looking for consistency.\u00a0<strong>GamerLegion\u00a0<\/strong>got demolished by\u00a0<strong>MOUZ,\u00a0<\/strong>which isn&#8217;t a bad sign since\u00a0<strong>MOUZ\u00a0<\/strong>is one of the best teams at this moment, but still, it is to judge how strong\u00a0<strong>GamerLegion\u00a0<\/strong>is right now. This match might show their\u00a0real\u00a0strength, but the same goes for\u00a0<strong>FORZE<\/strong>.
