Team Vitality, #1 seed of the BLAST.tv Austin Major, has put themselves in a position to qualify for the playoffs tomorrow. The same can be said of FaZe Clan, who make a run to the playoffs after the same core made the final of the previous Major.

Legacy and 3DMAX will have to take their chances in the 1-2 pool to fight for survival at Austin.

Vitality stomp 3DMAX

Vitality took on compatriot team, 3DMAX, on Nuke. 3DMAX chose to take the affair to Nuke over Dust2.

Vitality immediately took the lead on CT-side and rolled with it, with every player going positive in kills, as the half ended 10-2.

Ropz was the standout, with 122 ADR and 16 kills over 15 rounds. Zyw

FaZe win 10 rounds in a row against Legacy

Though Legacy started out the match positive as far as rounds, accompanied by dumau yelling at the other side, when FaZe got rolling there was little resistance.

S1mple brought his best form with the AWP, and helped FaZe win 10 rounds in a row to turn around a 2-6 game on Anubis.

Legacy found form late in the game, when FaZe found match point, but it was a 2v3 from s1mple and EliGE to close the game.
