Shanghai Major Playoffs Set: Na'Vi Shockingly Eliminated as Eight Teams Advance
The Shanghai Major's second stage concluded with all expected teams advancing to the playoffs, except for one notable upset: Natus Vincere's elimination.
Na'Vi's journey ended after a series of crucial defeats. Their loss to MIBR in round 2 led to a devastating match against Team Spirit, where they fell 2-13 on Mirage. Despite defeating GamerLegion in round 4, their recurring struggles against HEROIC continued, resulting in their elimination.
Eight Teams Qualified for Playoffs:
- The MongolZ (3W - 0L)
- Team Vitality (3W - 0L)
- G2 Esports (3W - 1L)
- Team Spirit (3W - 1L)
- Team Liquid (3W - 1L)
- HEROIC (3W - 2L)
- FaZe Clan (3W - 2L)
- MOUZ (3W - 2L)
While Vitality, G2, Spirit, and The MongolZ emerge as favorites, the competitive gap between all eight teams remains notably small. Success in the playoffs will likely hinge on individual performance and mental fortitude, with single moments potentially deciding crucial rounds and matches.
