Mouz Knock BIG Out Advance to Legends Stage of PGL Major

Mouz confirmed their qualification to the Legends Stage with a 2-1 win over Berlin International Gaming. Both the teams were 2-2 in the Challengers Stage and this was their final shot at a Legends berth. BIG started off well but a comeback from Mouz saw them through, with AWPer Frederik ‘acoR’ Gyldstrand outperforming everyone on the server.

MAP VETO

1. BIG removed Ancient

2. MOUZ removed Overpass

3. BIG picked Dust2

4. MOUZ picked Inferno

5. MOUZ removed Mirage

6. BIG removed Vertigo

7. Nuke was left over

MAP 1 : BIG 16-10 Mouseports

Dust2 might have been a Carbon copy of the game BIG played against ENCE yesterday in the 2-1 bracket. With the same scoreline at the end of the game, but also an identical division of rounds on the T and CT sides. 

Mouz’s strong start to the CT side was quelled only by IGL ‘tabseN’ who took the reins to give them a respectable 6 rounds on the T side. What followed was another CT lockdown from BIG, allowing only 1 T round for Mouz with great Mid defense from the leader.

MAP 2 : BIG 12-16 Mouseports

On their preferred map pick, Mouz had an iron fist on the game in the first few rounds. They were up 9-2, and the score at the end doesn’t do justice to their dominance. Once they lost control of the economy after a few close rounds, BIG had a chance to come back with their own string of rounds to end the half 9-6. 

The CT side from Mouz was closely contested by BIG, who never let go of the gas even when they were behind by 5 match points thanks to ‘frozen’s ACE.

BIG strung 2 more rounds together but it wasnt enough as the international roster needed just 1 and they got it to end the map 16-12.

MAP 3 : BIG 12-16 Mouseports

The final map was inarguably the most brawly out of them all, with neither team looking too strong from the get go. Mouz on the CT side first kept trading rounds back and forth for an end result of 8-7 in favour of them. BIG might’ve gone on a longer streak had new boy ‘Bymas’ not ninja-defused the bomb right under the nose of ‘syrsoN’ to give his side a much needed 5th round.

After the switch Mouz turned up the gears and with brilliant calling from Aussie ‘dexter’ there was little the Germans could do. 

At the end of it all the score line read 16-12 as BIG bombed out of the PGL Major.

Mouseports have now confirmed a spot at the Legends stage tomorrow to join Heroic, Virtus.pro, FaZe Clan, Entropiq, ENCE and Copenhagen Flames from the Challengers Stage.

BIG are out of the Major, without making it to the top 16.

ENCE Confirm Legends Status for 3rd Straight Major

ENCE moved on to the Legends Stage of the PGL Major after a difficult victory vs BIG Clan in a Bo3 Series in the 2-1 bracket. After the deep IEM Katowice 2019 run and Playoffs at the StarLadder Berlin Major, this is the org’s third straight appearance at the Legends stage, albeit with a different roster at PGL Stockholm. BIG have now dropped to the 2-2 bracket and will get one last chance tomorrow.

MAP VETO

  1. BIG removed Ancient
  2. ENCE removed Inferno
  3. BIG picked Dust2
  4. ENCE picked Mirage
  5. ENCE removed Vertigo
  6. BIG removed Overpass
  7. Nuke was left over

MAP 1 : BIG 16-10 ENCE

BIG’s standard pick of Dust2 seemed to slip away from them from the get go. Losing the 2nd round after a pistol win, and then not being able to string rounds together at all had them in a kerfuffle. Everywhere they went, ENCE had an answer for it. It wasnt until the last 2 rounds that the Germans could find 2 on the trot, as they ended the half 6-9.

The mid game talk from coach ‘LEGJIA’ seemed to have worked wonders as we saw a completely different BIG side after the switch. ‘k1to’ started off the proceedings with an ace in the pistol, and the international roster could find only 1 T round as BIG shut down both bombsites with ease, courtesy of IGL ‘tabseN’ and ‘syrsoN’ on A and ‘k1to’ on B to take their map 16-10.

MAP 2 : BIG 8-16 ENCE

BIG started off on the right foot on their opponents map pick but it was short lived once ENCE got the full buys in. They made Mirage their playground, with incredibly well put set pieces and mid crunches to squeeze the CTs on both bombsites.
They allowed only 1 more round as they won the half 10-5.
https://clips.twitch.tv/CooperativeBreakableSrirachaBudStar-Fiy-HocHAO1TRTZJ

On the switch, ENCE again looked strong as ever on their holds, allowing just 1 bomb plant in the half as BIG could find just 3 rounds. ENCE swiftly took the win 16-8 to take the series to Nuke.

MAP 3 : BIG 16-10 ENCE

On Nuke, ENCE looked in control from the get go. They won 6 of the first 8 rounds and looked set for a stomp. BIG did manage to pull back 6 T rounds to make it competitive and ended the half with a 6-9 deficit. AWPer ‘syrsoN’ was the only shining light for them on the T side, as he racked up 17 kills.

The T side was a flyer as well for ENCE as they took the first 5 rounds to go 14-6. Wasnt much to write home except a few rounds here and there for BIG, but having far too little to work with they eventually lost out 10-16.

ENCE now join Virtus.pro, Entropiq, FaZe Clan and Copenhagen Flames to make it to the Legends Stage from the Challengers Stage.
BIG are down 2-2, alongside Heroic and Spirit and will play the winners of today’s final games for one last shot.

Entropiq Shock Heroic to Advance to Legends Stage of PGL Major

The CIS side surprised everyone by handing the Danes their second consecutive loss, and moved on to the Legends Stage of the PGL Major. They had beaten the likes of Astralis and Movistar before climbing the biggest mountain today and overcoming the Danes on their map pick, and then wrecking them on the Decider.

MAP VETO

1. Entropiq removed Inferno

2. Heroic removed Dust2

3. Entropiq picked Ancient

4. Heroic picked Nuke

5. Heroic removed Vertigo

6. Entropiq removed Overpass

7. Mirage was left over

MAP 1 : Entropiq 10-16 Heroic

Entropiq threw a curveball with the veto, gambling on Ancient a map that Heroic played only once in the last 3 months, that too against Endpoint who are Tier 2 at best. Entropiq’s second best map has been Ancient but gambling was their undoing today.

They kept it close on the T side, unexpectedly and won 7 rounds which was more than passable, while Heroic had decent CT setups too.

Once they switched sides and Heroic had control of the money, it was all over in a jiffy. Casper ‘cadiaN’ Møller led from the front on the T half to give his side 7 rounds in a row to secure an easy 16-10 win.

MAP 2 : Entropiq 16-14 Heroic

Heroic’s home map started off a little better but the steam dwindled as the half ended and they could only post 8 T rounds, which by their standards wasn’t expected. The CT side was expected to be much better from them but Heroic got off to a slow start too, losing the pistol in a 1v1 clutch via a knife.

Entropiq’s T side continued their tear into the following rounds but Heroic didnt back down easily and went toe-to-toe on the 5 Gun rounds that came next. What turned the tide was a 2v4 with ‘El1an’ and ‘Forrester’ clawing back the 25th round for Entropiq to give their side the 14th. Heroic kept on coming but fell just short at the end, that too to a force buy as lost 16-14 to take us to Mirage.

MAP 3 : Entropiq 16-4  Heroic

The stage was set for a thriller with the last map being so close, but it was far from it. Entropiq showcased incredible grit and got off to a good T side start. After getting 2  rounds in the first 4, Heroic could barely get their head in the game. They got 2 more sporadic rounds on the CT side and 0 on the Terrorist side, losing 9 rounds consecutively to drop the series 16-4.

With an absolute smacking, Entropiq have now secured LEgends status at the PGL Major, alongside VP in 2-1 bracket. Heroic drop to 2-2 and await their opponent for one final shot at the Legends stage tomorrow.

Copenhagen Flames Through to Legends Stage After Beating Heroic

Copenhagen Flames are here to play and what better way to prove it than handing out upset after upset and going 3-0 in the Challengers Stage, beating the likes of Astralis, BIG and Heroic in the process.

They join FaZe Clan to become the first 2 teams to go 3-0 and advance directly to the Legends stage.  

MAP VETO

1. Copenhagen Flames removed Inferno

2. Heroic removed Ancient

3. Copenhagen Flames picked Vertigo

4. Heroic picked Nuke

5. Heroic removed Dust2

6. Copenhagen Flames removed Mirage

7. Overpass was left over

MAP 1 : CPF 16-7 Heroic

The match started off with Vertigo, a map not played by either side yet coming into the Major. You couldn’t have guessed whose pick it was as both teams went toe to toe. CPF managed to put up 8 rounds after a slow start to the half. Heroic’s CT setups were dismantled easily once the full buys came around for the Flames as they won the half 8-7

Once they switched sides it seemed that CPF turned on God mode. A ‘roeJ’ 3k to start the pistol went on to be converted into a flawless CT side, only allowing a single bomb plant in an overall flawless CT side to win comfortably, 16-7.

MAP 2 : CPF 11- 16 Heroic

Heroic have been the best nuke team after NaVi in recent times and it’s no wonder it’s their first pick almost always. After losing the 2nd round force things looked shaky for Heroic but they stabilised and only let CPF have a single round as they won 9 rounds on the T side.

Martin ‘stavn’ Lund continued to lay down lead throughout the map as he ended with 31 kills to give his side a comfortable CT side win after the pistol loss to take the series to a 3rd map, winning Nuke 16-11.

MAP 3 : CPF 16-12 Heroic

Heroic continued their brilliant form from Nuke, and it looked like the series would come to an expected conclusion, with Heroic going through to the Legends stage. Heroic won 8 rounds in a row to start the proceedings, as CPF’s T side fell flat on every avenue.

They finally managed a respectable scoreline as they fought tooth and nail for 5 rounds on the T side to end the half with a deficit of 5-10.

CPF had their own masterclass in the CT side ready for their Danish counterparts, primarily through ‘roeJ’. He shut downplays all over the map, allowing Heroic only 2 rounds on the T side. They fought back through man and weapon disadvantages all over, to end the map 16-12 and hand Heroic a Huge upset.

Copenhagen Flames join FaZe Clan alongside NaVi, Gambit, FURIA, Team Liquid, G2, Ninjas in Pyjamas, Team Vitality, and Evil Geniuses in the Legends Stage of the PGL Stockholm Major.

paiN Gaming Complete Comeback to Eliminate Sharks from PGL CSGO Major

Sharks become the second team after GODSENT to be eliminated from the PGL Major, making it 2/2 Brazilian teams going out from the Challengers stage. Coming from the South American region, no one had high hopes from Sharks but today they showed up in buckets and spades. They won the first map, and were up 15-9 on the second, looking set for a 2-0. But that’s where inexperience and mental resilience came into play as they lost the map in overtime and got absolutely annihilated in the third to bow out of the competition. 

MAP VETO

1. Sharks removed Overpass

2. paiN removed Mirage

3. Sharks picked Vertigo

4. paiN picked Ancient

5. paiN removed Dust2

6. Sharks removed Inferno

7. Nuke was left over

MAP 1 : paiN Gaming 16-19 Sharks

Both the games that paiN had lost until this point had been the closest score lines possible with 16-14. Today was no different as the first map went to overtime as well. Both paiN and Sharks had commendable CT sides as they put 9 rounds each. The T side was pretty lackluster from paiN though as they could never get things going on full buy rounds and Sharks brought the score to 15-15. Sharks showed their CT prowess even more and clean swept the first half of OT and got the single round needed on the T side too to win at 19-16.

MAP 2 : paiN Gaming 22-20 Sharks

The second map was similar to the first, with lackluster T side and strong CT setups from both the squads. Wasnt much to write home about in the first half, but on the switch Sharks looked unstoppable. They already got 6 rounds out of the 7 they needed within the first 9 rounds of the half and the scores read 15-9. paiN looked well on their way home but that is when AWPer ‘saffee’ came alive to bring his side back on track, and took them to OT. The game went to 2 overtimes before paiN finally closed the map 22-20 to take us to Nuke.

MAP 3 : paiN Gaming 16-4 Sharks

Despite being incredibly resilient, Sharks crumbled at the last hurdle. The comeback from paiN broke them it seemed, as after the first 7 rounds of play, they couldnt get a single one. paiN – because of their experience in NA, won 13 rounds in a row to complete the fairytale comeback and remain in contention in the Major.

Sharks are now eliminated along with GODSENT, while paiN sit at 1-2 and still have a shot at the Legends Stage. Astralis, Tyloo, Renegades, Mouz and Movistar Riders too are 1-2 and will have a shot tomorrow. paiN will play Astralis to survive the Challenger’s Stage.

Returnal’s new update lets you save your progress

0

Housemarque’s roguelike game, Returnal is quite challenging, not because of its difficulty, but due to the fact that you couldn’t save your progress at all, unless you put your PS5 in rest mode and any sort of disruption, be it a system software update or a power outage means that you’ll have to restart the entire thing all over again.

Returnal’s update 2.0 is here to solve that issue with the introduction of the Suspend Cycle option which now lets players exit the game and continue where they left off. While this feature doesn’t necessarily work as a traditional save point, Harry Krueger, Housemarque’s Game Director states that “your game will continue directly from the moment you left it, and if you want to suspend the cycle again, your progress will be captured from that new point onwards.”

There are also certain limitations with this system as players won’t be able to suspend their runs during cutscenes, combat sequences, and boss battles to “preserve the intended challenge and flow.”

Update 2.0 also brings Photo Mode to the game with various customization options such as focal distance, aperture, saturation, or contrast. You can also add various light sources, filters, frames, and color tones to make your screenshots stand out in many different ways.
