This Saturday, five matches will be played with ten teams involved. Four of the five games will be elimination matches, so we will have four teams to finish with ESL Pro League 19. Friday's matches surprised us with some underdog wins. Will it be the same that day, or will better teams win today's most important matches? We will have to see. Here, you can find the Saturday matches schedule and overview.
Schedule
- VP vs. Fnatic, Falcons vs. G2 starting at 12:30 CET
- 3DMAX vs. Astralis, Tyloo vs. M80 starting at 15:30 CET
- SAW vs. Eternal Fire starting at 18:30 CET
Matches Overview
VP vs. Fnatic
VP vs. Fnatic - ESL Pro League 19
These two teams already met each other a few days ago at ESL Pro League 19, and Fnatic won with a 2-1 score. This time, it's the VP's chance to take revenge, but it's questionable if they can do so with their current team form. The match should be lit anyway since VP will give their all even though they're not in good form, and the same goes for Fnatic; they have to prove one more time that they're the better team, and this match is more important since it's an elimination match.
Falcons vs. G2
Falcons vs. G2 - ESL Pro League 19
The second elimination match is on Saturday. The day before, G2 lost to an underdog team, M80, and now they're here. It's common for them since G2, for a long time, couldn't be called a consistent team, and inconsistency has been their second name for some time already. They should bring their A-Game to keep themselves at ESL Pro League 19 this time. The Falcons looked promising at first, but their results showed the opposite, and it seems like they couldn't find their game yet.
3DMAX vs. Astralis
3DMAX vs. Astralis - ESL Pro League 19
Upper Bracket Final match. The winning team proceeds to the quarter-final. Both teams win game after game and show good form, but if we talk about the team with more experience, it's going to be Astralis, and they should bring it here to win this game and proceed to the quarter-final.
Tyloo vs. M80
Tyloo vs. M80 - ESL Pro League 19
Two underdog teams in this tournament are playing in an elimination match. Tyloo had only 1 match win to their name, and it was against another underdog team, the Sharks. M80, on the other hand, surprised many with their win over much more experienced team G2, and now it looks like this match should be easy for them to take in their current team form. So, we will see if it was just a coincidence with their win against G2 or if it was something that looks promising for this team and if they can keep it like that.
SAW vs. Eternal Fire
SAW vs. Eternal Fire - ESL Pro League 19
SAW is in bad shape, while Eternal FIre keeps going with their good results against much more experienced teams. Being an elimination match, this match should be extra motivation for Eternal Fire, and they shouldn't miss their chance to keep their ground at ESL Pro League 19.
We will return tomorrow with an overview of the other day's matches, so stay tuned. Don't miss the Saturday matches—they will be fire!
