The second day of the BLAST.tv Paris Major<\/a> saw the first two teams eliminated from the Challengers Stage, while we also witnessed the first two sides promoted to the Legends Stage as the ninth and 10th seeds. <\/p>\n

The last four series on Tuesday – two elimination matches and two promotion matches – were the matches everyone wanted to see, as Fluxo took on Team Liquid and MOUZ clashed with GamerLegion, with the losers being eliminated from the Major after dropping to 0-3. <\/p>\n

After arriving in Paris as the 11th-best team in the world rankings, MOUZ never got their game going and were the first team eliminated from the final CS:GO<\/a> Major, losing 0-2 (12-16, 5-16) to GamerLegion in a one-sided affair. <\/p>\n

In the other elimination matchup, Fluxo went into their series against Team Liquid as massive underdogs and started strong, taking their own map pick on Nuke 16-11. <\/p>\n

However, the Brazilian side’s run ended there, as world no.7 Team Liquid flexed their muscles to claim Inferno 16-14 and Ancient 16-13 and so progress to the 1-2 pool of matches on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, G2 dominated Apeks 2-0 (16-11, 16-3) in their promotion series, becoming the first team from the Challengers Stage to qualify for the Legends Stage of the Paris Major. <\/p>\n

The second of the promotion series saw ENCE grab victory from the jaws of defeat in their clash with FaZe Clan. <\/p>\n

After losing the first map on Overpass 12-16, the world no.9 rallied to take their map pick on Nuke 16-13, before dominating FaZe on Anubis 16-5 to take the series 2-1. <\/p>\n

Even though FaZe lost the series, the best player of day two had to be their star rifler, Robin \u201cropz\u201d Kool, who posted the best kill\/death difference of the day at +30 while averaging 103.7 damage per round and recording the highest rating for the series at 1.50.<\/p>\n
