With Navi and FaZe Clan, two of the top favorites at the PGL "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" major prevailed in the quarterfinals. The outsiders Ence and Team Spirit are also playing in top form.

"It was hard to play, especially for me. I need to improve," Navi star player Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliv said in an interview after the game. "As a team, we played well on the second and third cards. I had a couple of unfortunate rounds.»

Heroic got off to a better start against Navi and secured the first card. From the second map Navi regained control, dominated the third map and won with 2:1 (10:16; 16:14; 16:8).

Also for FaZe it went against ninjas in pajamas in a third map. However, the team did not allow a comeback on this one, and made the entry into the next round with 2:1 (16:10; 13:16; 16:8) perfect.

The recently strong teams Ence and Spirit, who were not necessarily part of the favorites before the tournament, complete the semi-finals. Ence beat Copenhagen Flames with 2:0 (16:10; 16:12) and meets Navi, Spirit won with 2:0 (16:12; 16:8) against Furia and challenges FaZe.
