The most interesting matchups are in the 1-0 pool, and Cloud9 vs. G2 is clearly tomorrow’s match of the day. The Russian powerhouse breezed past B8 in the opening round today, while G2 had a perfect match and 16-0’d ECSTATIC. The rest of the 1-0 pool matches of Europe RMR A are FaZe Clan vs. Fnatic, NiP vs. Bad News Eagles, and Team Spirit vs. Sprout.

The 0-1 pool, on the other hand, will most notably feature Astralis going toe to toe with Eternal Fire to try to win their first match in the competition. GamerLegion, who almost upset FaZe today, will play Aurora, while B8 vs. ECSTATIC and forZe vs. 1WIN complete the second day of Europe RMR A.

Tomorrow will be the last day of only best-of-one matches in Europe RMR A since the third day will feature advancement and elimination matches, which use the best-of-three format. All of the other matches are being played as best-of-ones.
