In the IEM Dalls Group B upper bracket semifinal, ENCE defeated FaZe 2-0 to advance to the playoffs, which will start on Thursday and be broadcast live at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Centre.
The team captained by Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer will still need to win their last group game to go automatically to the semifinals. They will do so by defeating the winner of the second top semifinal between Astralis and Cloud9. ENCE, who had previously defeated Finn "karrigan" Andersen's squad 2-1 in the BLAST.tv Paris Major Challengers Stage, appeared to be in cruise control for the entirety of the game. This time, ENCE easily defeated Anubis thanks to an outstanding Alvaro "SunPayus" Garcia performance on the terrorist side, where they received an astounding 11 rounds despite facing most of the time since FaZe frequently had to make saves.
