EPL posts scenarios for making playoffs for each team after Group A's fifth round

In the run-up to the fifth round of Group A at ESL Pro League Season 16, the tournament organizers have posted all the scenarios for the final three matches, which will ensure each of the participants a ticket to the playoffs. Among the candidates for a place in the top 3, where there are only two spots left after an early success of Vitality, are all the participating teams: NAVI, fnatic, Team Spirit, NIP and Endpoint.

Playing in the last round of Group A will be the following pairings: NAVI – NIP, Vitality – Team Spirit and fnatic – Endpoint. ESL compiled an infographic for each of the participants.

NAVI will finish in second place if they beat NIP. However, even in case of defeat, the team retains chances with certain outcomes of other matchups.

fnatic also need a win to get further if not in second, then in third place. In case of loss, the fate of the European squad will be in the hands of the opponents.

Team Spirit are in a difficult situation. The CIS team has to win and expect NAVI or fnatic to lose.

NIP and Endpoint, the outsiders of the group, have extremely difficult conditions. Not only do they have to secure a victory but also hope for the outcomes of the rest of the matches to align favorably.
