Immortals wins the quarterfinal 2-1 and will progress onto the semifinals. North is eliminated.

Astralis vs. Na`Vi

• Astralis 16-11 Na`Vi on Mirage
• Astralis 16-2 Na`Vi on Nuke

With the removal of Na`Vi and North from the tournament, we now have a semifinal lineup lacking some of the monsters many would have thought they’d host. The semifinals, which are going to be played in best-of-threes, will look like this tomorrow:

• FaZe Clan vs. Immortals
