ASUS ROG playoffs set to start
The playoffs of ASUS ROG Summer 2016, taking place in Helsinki, Finland, are set to begin as the group stage came to an end.
In Group A of the $25,000 event taking place in Helsinki, Millenium, who feature veteran duo Christophe "SIXER" Xia and Engin "MAJ3R" Küpeli, surprisingly came out on top following wins over Epsilon and Escape.
After the Swedes faced a tough elimination match against LGR, they were set on a collision course with André "BARBARR" Möller and company, who brought Casper "cadiaN" Møller to stand in for Bence "DeadFox" Böröcz who had sustained an injury prior to the event.
draken's Epsilon set to meet ENCE in playoffs
A three-map battle ended up with Epsilon taking second place in the group despite the Danish stand-in carrying Escape through Dust2 to start it off.
Group B then saw ENCE coming out ahead from a double-digit Mirage with ArchAngels and the same overtime-worthy map versus Space Soldiers whose Ismailcan "XANTARES" Dörtkardeş put in 41 frags.
The Turks then headed into a re-match with Tricked, whom they beat 16-11 on Dust2 in the initial round, and grabbed second place after turning Train around from a 3-12 deficit and winning Cobblestone comfortably.
