ESL One Road to Rio 2020: event digest
As part of yesterday’s game, we could observe three confrontations, one of which occurred in the CIS, and two in Europe. In the CIS division, Virtus.pro beat Nemiga Gaming with a score of 2-1 and reached the semifinals, where Team Spirit was already waiting for them. Nemiga will fight in fifth place. In Europe, FaZe Clan and NiP, as expected, played in equal opposition. It was so difficult for both teams that 57 rounds were played on the second map instead of the required 30. This is not possible to see on the professional stage every day, and therefore yesterday's game day was significant in some way. In addition, 3 map also ended in additional rounds. Astralis defeated the G2 Esports without much difficulty with a score of 2-0 and also reached the final of the upper bracket, where they will compete with FaZe Clan. NiP and G2 went down to the bottom grid.
Today we will be able to watch how in the European division NiP play with Team Vitality, and G2 Esports will oppose Heretics. In addition, in the CIS region, Winstrike will converge with Syman Gaming.
ESL One Road to Rio 2020 is a six-division tournament that will allow the best teams to secure a trip to Rio de Janeiro in order to take part in the Major Championship.
