ESL One Los Angeles Closed Qualifiers Day 3 — CIS

Day three of the ESL One Los Angeles 2020 CIS Closed Qualifier saw the conclusion of Group B’s tiebreaker match and the start of the Playoffs. The Group B tiebreaker saw HellRaisers defeat forZe 1-0. As a result, the winners move on to the Playoffs while forZe qualifies for the StarLadder ImbaTV Minor Season 3 CIS Qualifier.

In the Playoff Semifinals, Virtus.pro faced HellRaisers in the double-elimination best-of-three match and lost, 0-2. The second match of the Playoffs had Natus Vincere compete against Cyber Legacy.  The Russian team took the first game after an hour-long battle but failed to keep up the momentum. Natus Vincere won the next two games in about the same time it took for them to play the first.

HellRaisers will take on Natus Vincere next in the Upper Bracket FInals to determine who takes the top spot. The loser will be sent to the Lower Bracket to try once more in the Lower Bracket Finals. Virtus.pro currently faces Cyber Legacy in Lower Bracket Round 1. 

ESL One Los Angeles 2020 will take place from March 14-22, 2020. The LAN final will be hosted at the Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles, California. $1 million is up for grabs along with 15,000 DPC points.
