Falcons go 0-2: BLAST.tv Austin Major Stage 2 round 2 recap
We're now at the end of day one of Stage 2 BLAST.tv Austin Major and there has been some very, very surprising results.
Falcons, one of the favourites to go 3-0 in this stage are now 0-2, having lost to both B8 and Lynn Vision in their opening BO1s.
Let's take a look at all the action from round two.
VP get comfortable win over B8
Virtus.pro have looked phenomenal so far in Stage 1, they've picked up two strong wins against OG and B8.
Their second win, the game against B8, came on Inferno, with the Ukrainians barely able to do anything as VP put up a brick wall on their CT side.
9-3 at the half, VP converted their lead to a 13-3 win with ease, fame was the star with a 20-5 performance.
paiN defeat FURIA to go 2-0
Our second game was a huge Brazilian derby between FURIA and FaZe, one that ultimately went the way of biguzera and paiN.
7-5 at the half in favour of FURIA at the half, paiN soon battled their way back into the game thanks to an incredible 2v5 on pistol from nqz.
A solid game for the AWPer, he and snow combined for 40 kills to push their team on to a 13-11 win.
Legacy upset 3DMAX on Inferno
Legacy may have 0-2 in Stage 1 at one point, but they now find themselves in the 2-0 bracket of Stage 2 after an upset victory over French team, 3DMAX.
Legacy were in control the entire game, they went into the half with a 7-5 lead after after a 5-0 start.
dumau was the star for Legacy once again, he went 19-13 to give the Brazilians a chance at advancing to Stage 3.
FaZe meet expectations with win over TYLOO
Falcons may be disappointing, but FaZe certainly aren't. s1mple and co. went 2-0 today following dominant wins over HEROIC and TYLOO.
As it happened, though, the GOAT wasn't even really needed in their second game of the day, it was rain's 19 kills that were the difference maker versus TYLOO.
A 13-5 victory on Anubis, FaZe will now face off against Legacy for a chance at going through to Stage 3 at the first time of asking.
HEROIC send BetBoom to 0-2 bracket
HEROIC really struggled against FaZe in their opening game but those troubles did not transfer over to playing against BetBoom.
A 13-9 win on Mirage, it was all square at the break with a 6-6 scoreline, but HEROIC took control on their T side thanks to 11 kills from their captain, LNZ.
However, the IGL wasn't the top frag, SunPayus took that duty with 20 kills in the 22 rounds.

One of the only NA hopes left in the Major, M80 were on the brink of going 0-2 as they found themselves 12-6 down to OG on Ancient.
With their backs against the wall, Lake turned it on, he went 18-8 on their CT side.
An incredible comeback, they now have a chance of going further in the competition and will face Brazilian team FURIA in the 1-1 games.
Nemiga win in OT vs MIBR
Nemiga were a surprise team to advance from Stage 1 of the Major and they now sit with a 1-1 record after taking down MIBR.
Both halves were 7-5 in favour of the T sides, but it was the CT side of Nemiga that took over in OT as the Europeans won all three of their defensive rounds.
