Going in to today’s matchups, the board was wide open as 9 out of the 16 teams still had a chance to qualify for the main event scheduled to kick off on October 23rd. The first game of the day saw VP tackle down Power Rangers putting an end to the hopes of the Belarusian team as they were now mathematically eliminated from the top four finish. The same ill fate fell upon the “Finstack” as they also took their seventh loss in a game against Team Tinker, leaving only 7 teams to compete for places in the LAN Finals. The top dogs of the group, Team Tinker and Secret Team both managed to continue their impeccable form in the Starseries X so far, solidifying their places on the top of the group stage and securing the important tickets to the prestigious LAN event.
Five teams are still within the reach of the two remaining spots to Kiev as only a handful of games remain to be played in the Starseries X Europe. Alliance and Na’Vi both look strong ahead of the pack, but close in tow are Cloud 9, Team Empire and Virtus Pro who are all trying to secure a spot in the LAN Finals. While C9 and Team Empire can only advance through a potential tiebreaker; VP, Alliance and Na’Vi have their fate in their own hands as they still have games to be played and a single win could mean everything.
Qualified Teams:

Evil Geniuses
Vici Gaming
