With the first day of the New Legends Stage in the rearview mirror, ESL has determined the pairings for the third round of fixtures. The 2-0 pool will be headlined by a mouth-watering clash between Liquid and Natus Vincere, the current No.2 and No.3 teams in the world, with current Major champions Astralis taking on Renegades, the surprise package of the tournament so far, in the other match. In the 0-2 pool, NRG will fight for their tournament lives against fellow North American side Complexity, while BIG face a must-win clash against ENCE.  Cloud9 will be looking to bounce back from their 16-0 beating against Vitality in one of the most interesting clashes in the 1-1 pool, the last to feature a best-of-one format.
