Evil Geniuses are through to the fifth place decider for IEM Fall North America after battling through a grueling gauntlet of tiebreaker matches between them, TeamOne, and Triumph which lasted nearly four hours — in part due to 15 minute breaks between each match — and involved 67 rounds in an MR3 format on Inferno.
The win sets up a fifth place decider match on Saturday at 00:15 between EXTREMUM and Evil Geniuses for the final spot at the PGL Stockholm Major on offer to North America, with only one of the teams able to make it through.
EG hang on to the chance to secure a spot at the Major
Although neither Triumph nor TeamOne had anything to play for as they were entirely out of contention for a spot at the Major, both teams fought valiantly against EG and did not let the win come easy. The final round of play saw EG fight through triple and double overtimes in their respective matches to finally advance, ending Group B in third place overall.
The final standings for the IEM Fall North America group stage look as follows:
