The "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" team of FaZe Clan has confirmed its form and eliminated the reigning major winner Natus Vincere from the ESL Pro League with a score of 2:0.

What promised to be a close quarter-final game on paper, however, was less competitive than expected in the end. FaZe got the better start on both maps and was able to play the advantage confidently in each case. Comeback attempts by Navi were unsuccessful, which means that the Ukrainian organization is still looking for a form.

Things are going surprisingly well for Ence, too. The Finnish organization prevailed against Fnatic and Movistar Riders and is thus for the first time in a long time in the top four of a tournament. Most recently, the team succeeded in doing this with a completely different lineup at IEM Chicago 2019.

The semifinals will be completed by ninjas in pajamas, who were able to defeat Team Liquid, as well as the Brazilian team Furia, who defeated Astralis. Apart from NiP, three of these teams had previously met in Group B.
