In a meaningless match on Friday, Evil Geniuses rallied to beat Group B champion 100 Thieves 2-1 in the DreamHack Masters Spring -- North America event.
100 Thieves (2-1) had wrapped up first place in the group on Thursday while Evil Geniuses (1-2) already were assured of finishing last in the four-team group.
Second and third place in Group B will be settled Saturday when Cloud9 (1-1) take on Gen.G Esports (1-1) in the final round-robin match.
The DreamHack Masters Jonkoping, a $250,000 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive event, originally was scheduled to be contested with 16 teams June 9-14 in Jonkoping, Sweden. However, the coronavirus pandemic forced the event to move to an online format featuring regional competitions for Europe, North America, Asia and Oceania.
The DreamHack Masters Spring -- North America, which saw Group A play finish Sunday, includes eight teams vying for a $100,000 prize pool. The sides were divided into two four-team groups for round-robin play consisting of best-of-three matches.
Both group winners will advance to the upper bracket of the double-elimination playoffs, and the second- and third-place teams from each group will enter the lower bracket of the playoffs. All matches in the playoffs, scheduled for June 8-14, will be best-of-three, except for the best-of-five final.
The DreamHack Masters Spring -- Europe bracket, with 16 teams competing for $160,000, started last week and runs through June 14. The four-team tournaments for both Asia and Oceania, each with a $20,000 prize pool, are scheduled for June 2-7.
In the North American region, FURIA Esports won Group A to advance to the upper-bracket final. Team Liquid and MIBR finished second and third, respectively, in Group A.
On Friday, 100 Thieves cruised to a 16-2 win on Vertigo to open the match. Evil Geniuses pulled even with a 16-6 victory on Overpass, then claimed the series with a 19-17 overtime triumph on Nuke.
