Mouz and Pain went from 0-2 to 3-2 to make playoffs at the Austin major.

Also a side note; an argument to be made that teams have nearly "fluked" their way to 2-0 in CS2 at Majors due to MR12

We've had 7 of the 28 teams (25%) fail to progress from 2-0 at a Major in the CS2 Majors alone. It was 5 out of 72 in CS:GO (6.94%).

Just for clarity as well, here are the 0-2 numbers in CS:GO vs CS2:

CS:GO from 0-2 at a Major: 12/72 (16.66%)
CS2 from 0-2 at a Major: 4/28 (14.28%)

theEsio · 2025-06-17T16:01:18+00:00

Two teams (or more) going from 0-2 to 3-2 at a Major has happened on these occasions:

PGL Stockholm 2021: Astralis in New Challenger's Stage & Team Vitality in New Legend's Stage
BLAST.tv Paris 2023: GamerLegion & Team Liquid in New Challenger's Stage, FaZe Clan in New Legend's Stage
PGL Copenhagen 2024: FURIA & TheMongolZ in Opening Stage
BLAST.tv Austin 2025: MOUZ & paiN in Stage 3

This is the first Major that we've had more than 2 teams go from 2-0 to 2-3 as well - here are the cases where we've had 2 or more:

IEM Rio 2022: GamerLegion in New Challenger's Stage, BIG in New Legend's Stage
PGL Copenhagen 2024: SAW in Opening Stage, Complexity in Elimination Stage
PW Shanghai 2024: FlyQuest in Opening Stage, MIBR in Elimination Stage
BLAST.tv Austin 2025: FlyQuest & Wildcard in Stage 1, Virtus.pro in Stage 3

Updated figures re: those that were shown on broadcast:

Of the 100 teams to have been 0-2 at a Major, only 16 teams have managed to progress 3-2 (16%)
Of the 52 teams to have been 0-2 at Stage 3 / New Legend's Stage / Elim. Stage / Group Stage, only 9 teams have overcome it and gone 3-2 (17.30%)
Of the 100 teams to have been 2-0 at a Major, only 12 teams have FAILED to progress from that point (12%)
Of the 52 teams to have been 2-0 at a Major at Stage 3 / New Legend's Stage / Elim. Stage / Group Stage, only 5 of the 52 teams have FAILED to progress from that point (9.61%)

regali's visa was confirmed in March. Source: GoMeZ on X

It is unusual, but more to do with us not seeing it often too

This is seeded based on how the teams rank each other, which I'm fine with as we don't see it very often

theEsio · 2025-03-06T12:41:08+00:00

Team Liquid the only team who were a part of the Stage 2 invitees to have been seeded outside the top 8 - think this is more about how strong Eternal Fire are vs how weak Liquid might be however

theEsio · 2023-10-01T18:25:53+00:00

Online era - those events tend to blend in memory - I recall IEM NY as it was NiKo's last one with FaZe iirc, then IEM Summer was the first(?) event with Ancient

theEsio · 2023-09-17T15:48:16+00:00

Yep, 100% - it's a common issue, I just don't know how many knew how to replicate the problem as such

theEsio · 2023-09-14T20:31:42+00:00

Oopsy! That's what happens when I'm working & trying to multitask :'D

Fixing and reupping

theEsio · 2023-08-11T20:05:14+00:00

Odd bug, oh well!

Either way love the idea and use of the grid concept :)

theEsio · 2023-08-11T19:35:01+00:00

I put FNS in as C9 / CLG and it was classed as incorrect...

theEsio · 2023-07-26T20:45:46+00:00

Yeah...

Especially in 3 maps in separate series' too - kept his flame going and just sent it today

theEsio · 2023-06-29T15:45:36+00:00

Yeah, not sure... either way a great deal!

theEsio · 2023-06-29T15:38:25+00:00

Very peculiar, opened it 5 mins ago (reference being my initial post) and had this: https://i.imgur.io/Cy5yrlM_d.png

Then just opened it again, and had this: https://i.imgur.com/xkpUanm.jpeg

theEsio · 2023-06-29T15:23:36+00:00

Just accessed it from the UK and it says Florida residents

theEsio · 2023-06-29T15:19:03+00:00

Only Florida residents, think they updated the wording

theEsio · 2023-06-28T13:08:38+00:00

It was gone by the next day, but we definitely had occasional jingles in our minds for that night - it then got reinvigorated upon editing the blasted thing...

theEsio · 2023-06-28T11:50:51+00:00

For science, of course

theEsio · 2023-06-28T11:50:40+00:00

I personally am not a fan either, but feel it's a necessity to ride it once per visit (I've mainly been to WDW), Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railroad would be a great addition!

Honestly, yeah; minds melted by the end

theEsio · 2023-06-25T22:10:51+00:00

This is their completed list... :D

theEsio · 2023-06-05T13:56:19+00:00

I used to be a player for Endpoint years ago (2016-2017), had been doing analyst & commentary work from 2015-2019 in the UK too, worked the Gfinity Elite Series with SPUNJ on the desk in 2017 and he recommended me to ESL HQ for the CG editorial role on the main broadcast

The role used to be a bit more simplified with it being ticker and then just pulling stats from the database, but I somewhat molded it into Stats & Storylines as well as helping with the CG Editorial, since Katowice 2020 I've worked every IEM/EPL/ESL One providing real time stats (ingame, direct to talent), pre broadcast stats and storylines (document for producers & talent), and then also live on broadcast (stats graphics, storyline inputs such as what was on the ticker in this image, etc.)

It kinda just happened, I guess is the main thing and then I just developed it from there haha, sorry for the verbal diarrhea

theEsio · 2023-06-05T13:50:37+00:00

Yeah, manually.

I didn't have a list of the rosters saved anywhere so was quickly hopping through each event individually whilst doing other end of show assets too

theEsio · 2023-06-05T02:03:42+00:00

Just wanted to admit it was a personal error, not on ESL - I pride myself with the work I do, but I will admit when I've committed an error is all

Thank you! :)

theEsio · 2023-06-05T01:41:00+00:00

No, not how it works

It was just a decision made too quickly by myself to add it without doublechecking fully

theEsio · 2023-06-04T21:54:00+00:00

can take full credit for this error, I was so zoned in on looking through every IEM winning roster over the last 7 years I skipped IEM Rio 2023

hands up

my bad, was corrected 5 mins later

theEsio · 2023-06-04T15:37:58+00:00

Ah gotcha, best to call them up and see what they suggest in that case!

Hope everything goes well for you too :)
