Despite the last group stage match between BLEED and PARIVISON , the pairings for the Skyesports Championship 2024 playoffs have already been revealed. This happened because ENCE beat True Rippers Esports 13-5 in their last match.
Because of that ENCE have a +12 round difference, if PARIVISON wins 13-0 against BLEED their difference will be +10, which is less than ENCE's. The same for BLEED, only they have a worse round difference and in case of a 13-0 win their difference will be +3.
During the third game day no sensations happened, except that ENCE could beat the opponent 13-0, but unfortunately or fortunately they lost the pistol round. After that they lost 5 in a row, but still took the last one and won 13-5. Also in the match between Eternal Fire and 3DMAX the first place in the group was played, where according to the results Eternal Fire managed to win 16-14 in extra rounds.
In the upper quarterfinals 3DMAX and ENCE will play, where the winner will take on Aurora, and the loser will leave the tournament in 5th-6th place and will receive $15,000. In turn, The Mongolz and AMKAL ESPORTS will play in the lower quarterfinals, where the winner will take on Eternal Fire. The winner of the tournament will take home the top prize of $120,000 and potential points towards Valve's rankings, which affect their ranking position and invitations to the closed qualifiers for RMR.
Ukrainian analyst petr1k shared a comment on the situation surrounding ENCE and their match against True Rippers Esports:
What's interesting. If ENCE had beaten the Indians 13-0 instead of 13-5 in their last match, then ENCE would have been in second place in the group and would have gotten into the other part of the grid. And if ENCE had won 13-7 or more, then Russians in 4th place would still have a theoretical chance of making the playoffs. But as it is, there is no chance. I don't know if anyone has calculated it, but 13-5 in the last game is a perfect score for ENCE. And the format of the tournament in India fits perfectly with the series of feints from the local organizers
Revenant Esports, DMS, True Rippers, BLEED and PARIVISION have already left the tournament without receiving any prize money. Also in addition to these teams, BetBoom withdrew from the tournament on the first day due to terrible tournament conditions.
Also the best player of the tournament according to the tournament organizers will receive $10.000. At the moment the best player of the tournament according to statistics is Özgür “woxic” Eker with 7.5 stats, and the second is teammate Ismailcan “XANTARES” Dörtkardeş with 7.1 stats.
