G2 and mousesports qualify for the Krakow Major on day three of the offline qualifier

G2 Esports and mousesports became the first Challengers for the upcoming Krakow Major from July 16 to July 23 earlier today. Their 3-0 records at the offline qualifier this weekend earned them the first two spots of the eight total Challengers for the LAN event later this month.

Mouz waged a comeback against Penta to keep them in their Cobblestone match, which later ended by a slight margin in their favor, 16-14, after a tight round 30. Robin “ropz” Kool dropped 35 kills with a 115.6 average damage per round and a 54.3 headshot percentage in his team’s win. G2 Esports’ match on Nuke against FlipSid3 Tactics ended at 16-13 after a few hiccups from the G2 side that almost saw F3 force overtime.

In the lower elimination matches, Team Dignitas ended Tengri’s run at the qualifier with a 16-7 win on Mirage, while Renegades also surprised OpTic Gaming on Mirage 16-10. OpTic and Tengri have been eliminated from Krakow Major contention due to their 0-3 records at the offline qualifier.

Today’s middle matches had several different results, from Team Liquid’s demoralizing 16-2 Train win over HellRaisers, to BIG’s 16-9 Cache win against Immortals. Cloud9 beat GODSENT 16-11 on Train, and Vega Squadron had a shocking 16-10 win on Inferno against TyLoo.
