FACEIT League S2 playoffs picture

As the final day of matches for FACEIT League Season 2 in Europe begins, we take a look at the playoff picture to see who can still make the Finals in Milan.

A total of six matches remain to be played on the final playday of FACEIT League Season 2, with four teams still in competition for two spots at the Finals.

Earlier today the two North American finalists were confirmed, with Cloud9 finishing undefeated and iBUYPOWER overcoming Denial for the second spot for their continent.

Currently the only two guaranteed finalists are fnatic, who will finish number one regardless of what happens today, and LDLC, who hold the tie-breaker over Virtus.pro.

Out of the playoffs with mathematical certainty are only Epsilon and HellRaisers - though both still have a chance to spoil others' plans, as HR did partly last night versus NiP.

In reality Titan's hopes of advancing are all but crushed, as they would have to hope for a scenario where they finish in a three-way tie, and advance based on round difference.

Due to Titan's round difference being a measly -18, it's very unlikely they could catch the likes of dignitas - who are at +14, and would have to finish 1-2 today.

In addition, for their mathematical chance to realize, they would need multiple teams to lose against the right opponents, and for others to beat the correct teams.

If Virtus.pro were to win both matches against dignitas and fnatic, they would qualify. However, there's a chance they could make it even with just one win, or even two losses.

NiP could miss the $50,000 finals if they lose today

For dignitas to have a chance at representing Denmark at the Finals, they need at least one win, for NiP to lose, and for Titan to not win both games.

Alternatively, they could finish 3-0 and guarantee themselves a spot, or 2-1 and qualify with other results not playing such a big factor in determining their fate.

NiP could still qualify with a loss against LDLC tonight, but it would require dignitas to finish 0-3 today, and for them to hold a better round difference than Titan.

Below is a list of all matches scheduled to be played today. Each will be broadcasted on FACEIT TV, and played out using a best-of-one format.
