The Legends Stage is set, and Team Liquid, Monte and GamerLegion make up the remaining teams.
As is the way with such a competition, it's a fall at the final Challengers hurdle for FORZE, Grayhound and paiN Gaming, who all struggled in their respective 2-2 games.
Rising star siuhy did little to dissuade any of his admirers as he continued to put up huge numbers and lead by example as GamerLegion slipped past FORZE in two.
The youngster led GamerLegion to the reverse sweep from 0-2 to 3-2 in a weird mirroring of Rio, where they fell from 2-0 to 2-3.
Though it wasn't all him on Overpass, he completely stole the show on Inferno with a 30-bomb all while leading the team.
Isak pulled off the moment of the game, though, with a crazy ace clutch, which he admitted was likely the moment they thought they had won the game.
GamerLegion's energy - as you might have seen from the image at the top of the article - was infectious, and Isak believes that's key to any further success.
"Definitely, if we want to make it through, maybe even to the Champions Stage but if we want to keep up this consistency, we definitely want to - have to - keep up the energy,"
GamerLegion's first game in the Legends Stage will be against NAVI. Talk about a baptism of fire.
Despite losing their own map pick, a map in which they'd come into the series on a 15 map streak on, Monte still dug deep and denied paiN the glory of qualification.
Though DemQQ couldn't really find the words to describe his emotions after - describing himself as "confused, amazing, I don't know, very good!" - the smile on his face told the whole story.
Anubis has become a map Monte are feared on, but paiN clearly didn't care about that and let it through, much to the surprise of DemQQ.
"But when we see 15 it’s like “oh, oh shit! How can they leave in this map?”"
Monte hit back with a scorching 14-round CT side on Nuke, though, and clearly broke paiN with sdy's 1v4 in the pistol round. paiN struggled to get T side rounds on both of the last two maps, and NEKIZ believes they were outprepped by Monte.
"We tried to hit Door but they would molly and swing from Mini, we had a couple rounds we went Outside and they would hit Lobby and get all the information. I think they played super good against us."
Monte will move on to the Legends Stage to face FURIA in a mouthwatering clash.
It can't be easy to get to a 2-2 game and have to face a team like Team Liquid.
Despite their early struggles, they've clearly buckled down and found themselves again and were just too strong for Grayhound.
ELiGE looked back to his old self while NAF quickly dissipated any hangover from his slow start on the opening day, as Grayhound seemed to peter out.
A dejected Vexite told BLAST.tv that the team were "just not happy with how [Grayhound] played", while YEKINDAR shared a similar sentiment, albeit a little more optimistically, as one might expect.
"We didn't win something big, we just qualified for the next stage and we need to focus up and play even better if we want to compete in the Legends."
Both Anubis and Inferno were relatively comfortable for Team Liquid, winning both 16-9, and this is at least something for them to hold on to going into the Legends Stage, where they face 9INE for a tricky start to the stage.
