After two exciting days of games, the ELEAGUE Major is heating up. Tournament favorites are at risk of elimination, and we’re seeing some familiar faces make a comeback. Here’s what you need to know heading into the third day of the event.
North and OpTic on the Brink of Elimination
The ELEAGUE Major has been full of surprises, and two of the top-rated teams, North and OpTic, are currently facing elimination before the playoffs.
North, the Danish squad, has been performing poorly in recent tournaments and has fallen short of expectations at the Major. They were defeated by Gambit and Fnatic, two teams that weren’t expected to do well, and now they have to face HellRaisers to keep their tournament run going.
OpTic, from North America, has had a tough time. They were matched up against tournament favorites Virtus Pro and Astralis. Now, they’re on the verge of elimination.
Magic at the Majors
Each Valve Major has its own unforgettable moments, and the ELEAGUE Major is no different. One team that stands out is the Polish Virtus Pro roster. In their match against G2 Esports, they showcased stunning plays round after round on Nuke.
Gambit on Track
Gambit wasn’t considered a favorite heading into the ELEAGUE Major, but they’ve been impressing everyone. With convincing victories against North and GODSENT, Gambit is only one game away from reclaiming its legendary status. However, the question remains whether they can defeat the Polish legends in Virtus Pro.

– North vs. HellRaisers at 12:30pm ET: North has been the biggest disappointment of the Major so far, and HellRaisers have nothing to lose. This clash will be intense.
