Cloud9 drop down to the lower bracket to face off against Complexity on Wednesday at 18:00 .

Astralis defeated Cloud9 in a surprising result in Group B of IEM Dallas and secured themselves a spot in the playoffs, starting on Friday. The Danes will now face off against ENCE in the group final to battle the European combine for a direct passage to the semi-final, while the loser will start in the quarters.

On the B stream, OG 2-0'd 9z in the lower bracket semi, eliminating the South American side in 9-12th place and keeping themselves alive for another day of competition. Their next test will come against MOUZ, with the winner of that match securing a quarter-final spot.

Astralis were dominant in their match against Cloud9 and limited the Russian squad to single-digit round totals on both maps. The series started on Ancient, where Benjamin "⁠blameF⁠" Bremer gave us a taste of what is to come in the pistol round, starting the game with an ace that included a 1vs3 clutch. That gave his team a hot start, and Astralis kept their momentum throughout the entire offensive half by racking up an incredible 12 rounds at the switch. Such a big lead was impossible to fumble for the Danes, who moved the series to Cloud9's map pick with a 16-8 win on Ancient.

Mirage started slightly better for Cloud9 as they put up six rounds on the less-favored T side and went into the second half with a chance of forcing a decider. Their defensive half left much to be desired, however, as Dmitry "⁠sh1ro⁠" Sokolov and company mustered just two rounds and once again petered out in an 8-16 loss against the Danes. Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz (1.57) and blameF (1.56) were expectedly the driving forces of the Danes' victory, while Cloud9 didn't have a single player achieve a 1+ rating in the series.

OG vs. 9z also began on Ancient, with the game on the B stream showcasing a much closer battle. Stand-in Iulian "⁠regali⁠" Harjău was able to carry his team to victory, however, as the Romanian's 40 kills were enough for OG to secure a 19-17 win on the South Americans' map pick and move the series to Mirage.

A standout individual performance decided the second map of the series too, this time by Shahar "⁠flameZ⁠" Shushan. The Israeli rifler put up 31 kills and a 1.78 rating to give his team a 16-12 victory and a spot in the qualification bout against MOUZ.
