Bottom 4 teams fail to qualify for Super Weekend 2
The League Stage of the PMGC: West 2021 keeps throwing surprises at the fans. This week the defending champions of PMGC and star Chinese team Nova Esports failed to qualify for the second super weekend. The squad was unable to get going in any way today. They were tied with Cryptics at 36 points. However, the Cryptics qualified because they had one placement point more than Nova Esports (i.e., 15 compared to 14). Now, the squad won't be competing in the second super weekend, and their chances of securing the top spot in the League Stage have taken a significant hit.
Other than Nova Esports, who finished on the 16th spot, Deadyes Guys from Nepal, D'Xavier from Vietnam, and BC Swell from Japan could not make it to the second super weekend.
Out of these four squads, things currently look grim for BC Swell as they have failed to make it to the super weekends for the second straight week. The team would have to put forth an extraordinary performance in Week-3 to qualify for the League Finals of the event.
Other than these teams, Indonesian powerhouse, Bigetron RA who had been struggling until this point, showed glimpses of their old self securing 56 points in 5 matches today with one chicken dinner to their name, qualifying for the second super weekend at the 7th spot with 63 total points and 29 kills.
It would be intriguing to see which teams take charge in the second super weekend of the League.
