Digest of the fourth game day of the PGL Arlington Major
Maksym ShylovYesterday ended the fourth game day of the PGL Arlington Major, the main Dota 2 esports tournament in August. The last matches of group B were played, which means that the names of the first participants in the playoffs of the championship are already known.
The editors of EGamersWorld conduct a daily interactive column with predictions for the fantasy league from the authors of our site. You can find the results of the fourth day and forecasts for today in the corresponding news.
Group A
Tournament table:
Place | Team name | Match statistics | Map statistics |
1 | PSG.LGD | 6-1-0 | 13-1 |
2 | Fnatic | 2-5-1 | 9-7 |
3 | Outsiders | 2-4-1 | 8-6 |
4 | OG | 2-3-2 | 7-7 |
5 | Royal Never Give Up | 2-3-2 | 7-7 |
6 | Team Liquid | 1-4-2 | 6-8 |
7 | Talon Esports | 1-3-3 | 5-9 |
8 | Thunder Awaken | 0-5-2 | 5-9 |
9 | Soniqs | 0-4-3 | 4-10 |
Having outplayed the Outsiders, PSG.LGD became the winner of Group A without losing a single match. The only card Ame and the team lost to the 9th place of the group, the club Soniqs. Soniqs, formerly known as Quincy Crew, are showing frankly weak play. If YawaR and his teammates don't perform a miracle in the match against the Outsiders, then they shouldn't count on replays. In addition to Soniqs, Thunder Awaken performed mediocrely, although they took one card from Liquid.
It is worth noting OG, who spoiled their way to the upper bracket by playing against the Outsiders. Under certain circumstances, tiebreakers for 4th and 6th place can expect us tomorrow, because the situation in the middle of the standings is quite equal.

Group B
Tournament table:
Place | Team name | Match statistics | Map statistics |
1 | Team Aster | 3-4-0 | 10-4 |
2 | Entity | 3-3-1 | 9-5 |
3 | Team Spirit | 3-3-1 | 9-5 |
4 | BOOM Esports | 2-3-2 | 7-7 |
5 | Evil Geniuses | 2-2-3 | 6-8 |
6 | beastcoast | 1-4-2 | 6-8 |
7 | Natus Vincere | 2-1-4 | 5-9 |
8 | Tundra Esports | 0-4-3 | 4-10 |
The matches in group B came to an end. Unlike group A, 8 teams were represented here, since Xtreme Gaming did not come to the Major due to the fact that their carry could not get a visa to the USA.
Natus Vincere and Tundra Esports leave the tournament. It is worth noting that the Born to Win have a good individual performance, but drafts fail very badly. The reason may be the lack of a squad coach. Tundra have not been able to win a single victory at all and deservedly miss the playoffs.
BOOM Esports avoided replays for 4th place by drawing group winner Team Aster yesterday. Entity and the champions of The International 10, Team Spirit will also enter the upper bracket. Representatives of Southeast Asia, led by skem, will play against the main favorite of the tournament, the PSG.LGD team in the first round of the upper bracket.
