The three-week long ESL Pro League Season 19 is heading towards the end, and with each new day some serious names are eliminated from the tournament. While the Group Stage format might seem confusing, the playoffs are pretty straightforward. Single elimination, if you lose, you're out; some teams earned the right to skip one or two rounds.

The hardest part of the bracket is without a doubt in its bottom. FaZe Clan is running a big gauntlet, and if the first round win is something we could expect, the outcome of the match versus Natus Vincere was not that predictable. The rematch from the PGL Copenhagen Major happened in the round of 12, and this time Karrigan and his squad were stronger - 2:0. Today they are facing Team Vitality and it's going to be a clash of the titans.

Yesterday, we had two quarterfinals. Virtus.pro is still shaky after the recent roster changes, and they were shut down by Complexity, the undoubtedly strongest NA team. The other match was more dramatic, as MOUZ and G2 Esports went to map three, and the younger blood was stronger (2:1, 3:13 on Inferno, 13:8 on Vertigo, 13:4 on Nuke).

The prize pool of the ESL Pro League Season 19 is $750,000, and the champion also qualifies for the IEM Cologne 2024.
