Eternal Fire and Falcons Face Elimination, TYLOO Bows Out After EPL Stage 2 Day 3
In a gripping turn of events at the ESL Pro League Season 21, Eternal Fire and Falcons find themselves in peril as they head into the fourth day, while TYLOO's journey ends.
Liquid narrowly defeated the Turkish team in the 1-1 pool after almost losing 9-2 and 10-4 leads on Inferno and Train.
The third day of ESL Pro League Season 21 Stage 2 featured playoff qualification matches—with Spirit and Vitality both advancing after going 3-0—and two elimination matches that witnessed TYLOO and MIBR end their campaigns in Sweden.
In another match, G2 easily claimed victory over SAW, with outstanding performances from Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov, Mario “malbsMd” Samayoa, and Nikita “HeavyGod” Martynenko, notably featuring an incredible Scout ace by m0NESY.
In a heartbreaking turn, TYLOO faced elimination in the 0-2 pool, rallying to reach a 15-12 lead on Ancient against GamerLegion but ultimately lost in double overtime, further losing Inferno in triple overtime. Dongkai “Jee” Ji vocalized the disappointment of exiting the tournament this way.
For the upcoming day, Falcons and Eternal Fire are both in danger of elimination, standing at 1-2 after two close map losses against Liquid. Falcons had a promising start after finishing second at PGL Cluj-Napoca, showcasing improvements with the recent addition of Nikola “NiKo” Kovač.
The French team managed a 2-1 victory over Liquid after two overtime games but struggled significantly with defeats against MOUZ and 3DMAX.
As they head into Day 4, both teams must secure wins to avoid early exits.
