FaZe Clan and Team Burger avoid elimination from ALGS Year 4 Championship 

Earlier today, the ALGS Year 4 Championship eliminated its first set of teams from the competition, with FaZe Clan and Team Burger narrowly avoiding elimination.

Following eight games in the Elimination Bracket Round 1, FaZe Clan’s victory on map five and a fourth-placed result on map one was enough to secure the team a ninth-placed finish overall (42 points).

APAC North’s Team Burger left their qualification late, securing a third-place finish on map eight which tied the organisation with 11th-placed team NRG on 41 points.

However, due to tie-breaker rules, it was Team Burger that qualified for the Elimination Bracket Round 2.

Also missing out on the next stage are Ninjas in Pyjamas (40 points), Source Gaming (37) and Supernova (36), even though the latter team secured a victory on map two.

Topping the bracket was Orgless and Hungry with 96 points and two map wins. The EMEA side dramatically improved from its 36th-placed Group Stage performance, securing notable wins in maps one and eight. 

Also turning around their fortunes from yesterday were Luminosity and ENVY, with both sides qualifying for the next stage in second (70 points) and seventh (53 points), respectively.

The remaining Elimination Bracket Round 1 map winners included Zero Tenacity (map three), VK Gaming (map four), Dragons Esports (map six) and Disguised (map seven). All of the map winners aside from Supernova have qualified for the next stage. 

The final team to qualify for the Elimination Bracket Round 2 was GHS Professional, finishing third overall in the eight-game series (66 points). 

The full list of eliminated teams from 11th to 20th is: NRG, Ninjas in Pyjamas, Source Gaming, Supernova, DreamFire, Oblivion, REIGNITE, shadow3690, Stallions and Meteor.

Tomorrow (February 1st) the ALGS Year 4 Championship Winners Bracket and Elimination Bracket Round 2 will take place. With all action occurring at the Daiwa House PREMIST DOME in Japan, the competition will resume at 11 AM JST (2 AM GMT) on ALGS’ Twitch and YouTube channels.
