The final day of Group Stage action at the $1 million tournament saw Team Liquid trying to bounce back from a defeat at the hands of Astralis, while the MiBR players were hoping to continue the momentum that they found against Cloud9 in the Group A elimination match.

The North American team was able to grind away at MiBR and eventually take a comfortable 16-10 victory. The next map, Overpass, was much of the same. Team Liquid controlled the game from the front throughout \u2013 weathering the occasional storm from the Brazilian opposition and taking another 16-10 win as Russel \u2018Twistzz\u2019 Van Dulken topped the scoreboard. Next up on stage was Mousesports versus Fnatic. The Fnatic players were clearly confident after their impressive win over FaZe Clan in Group B\u2019s elimination matc and carried that form into the first map, Inferno, against the international lineup of Mousesports. The Swedes secured a tight 16-13 win on their map pick before moving on to Mousesports\u2019 choice of Train. The entire map was a back and forth affair, but Tom\u00e1\u0161 \u2018oskar\u2019 \u0160\u0165astn\u00fd and Robin \u2018ropz\u2019 Kool were the difference makers, helping Mousesports to grab a narrow 16-14 win and force a third map. .@chrisJcsgo comes into Game 3 with a nasty flick! pic.twitter.com\/UHevMKahpA \u2014 ELEAGUE (@ELEAGUETV) July 26, 2018 Fnatic\u2019s form seemed to dip in the final map, Mirage, and it was Miikka \u2018suNny\u2019 Kemppi\u2019s time to put in a monster performance for Mousesports, picking up 30 kills in just 25 rounds.
