We’ve had a thrilling day’s action as the Playoffs got under way, and tomorrow’s matches are no different. Undoubtedly the match of Day 4 will be the clash between pre-tournament favourites Virtus.pro and PSG.LGD.


It's sure to be the tie of the round — both Virtus.pro and PSG.LGD are unbeaten so far, having topped their groups, but now one of them must fall.

Virtus.pro are possibly the favourites to take the win, given they are the current Major champions thanks to their win in Kuala Lumpur. The pair met at The International 2018, with the Chinese side emerging with a 2-0 victory.

Form is not with them, though. Despite their runner-up position at T8, LGD could only manage 5th-6th in the Malaysian capital — meaning they are lagging behind VP, Team Secret and Evil Geniuses in the DPC rankings this season.

However, they should never be discounted, and have looked strong so far in the Major. It’s sure to be a thrilling battle!





Another choice game is the all-North America battle between Forward Gaming and J.Storm. A one-game shootout for a place in the next round, one of these teams will be going home early — meaning it should be a fiery encounter to add to regional pride.

The last time the pair met was in qualifiers for the Major — on that occasion Tae Won 'March' Park’s J.Storm side got the upper hand with a 2-1 comeback win.





The action gets under way tomorrow at 03:00 CET / 18:00 PST / 10:00 PHT. The full list of games played tomorrow are:

Alliance vs Chaos Esports Club
NoPangolier vs Thunder Predator
Forward Gaming vs J.Storm
TNC Predator vs Team Aster
PSG.LGD vs Virtus.pro
EHOME vs Team Secret


What are your predictions for the day’s matches?
