The #1 team is picking up steam, winning two maps dominantly since their opening loss.
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.
