MiBR destroyed by Astralis and reigning major champions Cloud 9 eliminated at FACEIT London Major A crazy day of matches saw reigning major champions Cloud9 eliminated from FACEIT London, and MiBR were humbled in a brutal 16-0 at the hands of Astralis. The day started with BIG Clan overcoming Hellraisers, winning 16-9 on Train, but Hellraisers are still in with a shot, sitting at eighth in the standings, with a two and two record. NiP took care of Vega Squadron on Train also, leaving the Russian\/Ukranian squad with a 1-3 record, eliminating them in 12-14th. FaZe Clan made quick work of TyLoo, eliminating them also with a comfortable 16-4 win, ending an impressive run for the Chinese hopefuls. Na\u2019Vi and Fnatic was hard to predict, but Na\u2019Vi\u2019s Denis \u2018electronic\u2019 Sharipov stepped up in the fragging department, as his usually unstoppable teammate Aleksandr \u2018s1mple\u2019 Kostyliev was unusually quiet. Next up was easily the match of the day, as G2 and Cloud9 battled on Inferno, which almost like clockwork went to Overtime. Cloud9 fought valiantly, but couldn\u2019t clutch up in the crucial moments, losing 22-19 and failing to make it to the new Champions Stage. The final game was finely poised, as Made in Brazil faced their toughest test of the event so far with favorites Astralis looking in top form. But it wasn\u2019t close at all in the end, as Astralis won the first ever 16-0 in CS:GO Major history, looking absolutely peerless on the CT side of Dust 2. For North American fans, Cloud9 may be gone, but Team Liquid are going strong, as are the surprise package in CompLexity, with both teams taking 2nd and 1st spots respectively in the current standings. MiBR will have their opportunity to bounce back against NiP tomorrow, but FalleN and new coach YNk will have to seriously rethink their strategies after their crushing loss vs Astralis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
