The rest of the tournament will see arch-rivals play their cards and eagerly awaited matches. Some of the best teams in the esports world will put their best efforts into competing in Masters: Reykjavík.

If you missed the action or want to relive the last week of the group stages, VCT Challengers EMEA 6. Here’s a rundown of the week:

CIS team M3 Champions never pityed their opponents in Week 6. They managed to beat BIG, NAVI and LDN UTD without giving up a single game. Ayaz ‘nAts’ Akhmetshin and Timofey ‘Chronicle’ Khromov put on a show and the team was able to put its name in the playoffs with all its class. FPX managed to defeat NAVI as a result of a continuously middle series. Kamil ‘baddyG’ Graniczka’s replacement for Kirill ‘ANGE1’ Karasiow in the squad worried some, but FPX left the match with a clear 2 – 1 win and continued the chance to take home the trophy.

The teams that will participate in the playoffs have been announced, the final ranking of the group stage is as follows:

Group A

FunPlus Phoenix 4-1

M3 Champions 4-1

Team Liquid 3-2

Natus Vincere 2-3

LDN UTD 2-3

BIG 0-5

Although we witnessed only one Group B match in Week 6, it is safe to say that this is the most anticipated match of the week: GUILD – Fnatic.

For the black-and-orange team, the streak didn’t start so well. Guild managed to beat the British giant in Haven without much trouble. But as a complete Fnatic classic, the team came from behind in Bind and Split to take the game. The greatest architect of this success was Nikita ‘Derke’ Sirmitev.

Derke, who was named the most valuable player in the series, was the first to be thrown into the action, putting on a great game with Raze. He led his team to a 5-0 streak in the playoffs.

Group B

FNATIC 5-0

GUILD 3-2

G2 Esports 3-2

Acend 2-3

BBL Esports 2-3

SuperMassive Blaze 0-5
