We are now 10 days into the tournament. ESL One Germany 2020 only has two more rounds left and the Playoffs will start. Let’s have a look at what happened so far.

ESL One Germany 2020 Round 1

Round 1 of ESL One Germany 2020 ended with a lot of predictable results and two upsets. The upsets happened in the following matches: 5men versus NiP (NiP won) and Nigma versus YellowSubmarine (YeS won). The first of these two upsets was not exactly huge, but it still represented an upset because 5men is a much stronger team than NiP. But the second one was totally unexpected. Nigma is KuroKy’s team and is made up of some of the best players in the world. But they still got demolished in this match.

The complete results for Round 1 of ESL One Germany 2020 were the following:

  • 5men – NiP: 2 – 0
  • Secret – Tempo: 2 – 0
  • gg – HellRaisers: 2 – 1
  • Liquid – mudgolems: 2 – 0
  • Winstrike – OG: 0 – 2
  • EXTREMUM – Alliance: 0 – 2
  • Nigma – YellowSubmarine: 0 – 2
  • Cyber Legacy – Natus Vincere: 0 – 2

Round 2

In the second round of ESL One Germany 2020, the battles were much fiercer. And that’s because of the Swiss System. The winners of the first round met each other and this created a lot of great matches. The key victories during this round had OG and Alliance in the center of attention. Both teams won highly disputed matches against tough opponents: Vikin.gg and NiP respectively.

The complete results for this round were the following:

  • mudgolems – Cyber Legacy: 2 – 0
  • Nigma – Tempo: 2 – 0
  • EXTREMUM – 5men: 0 – 2
  • OG – Vikin.gg: 2 – 0
  • Secret – YellowSubmarine: 2 – 0
  • HellRaisers – Winstrike: 1 – 2
  • Natus Vincere – Liquid: 1 – 2
  • NiP – Alliance: 1 – 2

The best match of this round was probably Na’Vi versus Liquid. I hoped Na’Vi would win but it wasn’t to be. However, RodjER’s team recovered nicely in Round 3.

Round 3

The third round of the tournament saw Nigma lose another important match and get dangerously close to elimination. Their defeat against mudgolems was partly expected after the loss against YeS. But it was still shocking to witness. In other key matches, Natus Vincere won against Winstrike, Secret defeated Liquid, and Alliance beat OG. This last match was the most important one of the 3rd round. The other big match was Secret’s, but Puppey’s squad is so strong at this point that nobody stands a chance against it.

The complete results were the following:

  • EXTREMUM – Cyber Legacy: 1 – 2
  • mudgolems – Nigma: 2 – 0
  • HellRaisers – Tempo: 2 – 1
  • YellowSubmarine – NiP: 2 – 1
  • OG – Alliance: 1 – 2
  • gg – 5men: 1 – 2
  • Natus Vincere – Winstrike: 2 – 0
  • Secret – Liquid: 2 – 0
