HAVU (invited)
HLTV Rank: #35
Player to watch: Sami “xseveN” Laasanen
The best all-Finnish team around had a weird Summer and they’d be probably the first to admit that. In June they benched their most recent player at the time, Jemi “jemi” Mäkinen, only for him to come back a couple of months later. Still, it’s good to remember that the team achieved a very high level earlier in the year, reaching a team ranking of 14 at their peak. Now they’re looking to replicate that.
Dignitas (invited)
HLTV Rank: #36
Player to watch: Patrik “f0rest” Lindberg
This Swedish team was built to bring back the legendary NIP line-up but now only two of those players remain – friberg and f0rest. DIG has still been able to find a high level of play especially as of late taking down solid teams like ENCE and FunPlus Phoenix.
The team is nicely rounded out with younger talent in HEAP and the lone-Norwegian, hallzerk. Dignitas is coming in as one of the favorites to go through to the playoffs.
Sinners (invited)
HLTV Rank: #19
Player to watch: Tomáš “oskar” Šťastný
The highest-ranked team of the Swiss stage is the Czech Republic squad of Sinners. A mere year ago they still were world-ranked 158. They were quick to improve though and especially the addition of the legendary 30-year old Czech awper, oskar, brought them to a new level. They’re looking to cause mayhem and anything short of a top-8 placement would be a disappointment.
SKADE (invited)
HLTV Rank: #22
Player to watch: Georgi “SHiPZ” Grigorov
We welcome back the juggernauts of Elisa Invitational tournaments. This Bulgarian squad won the Spring edition of the event and fell only in the final to FURIA in the Summer version. In other events, their results haven’t been quite as magnificent but the Elisa Invitational magic feels more real with every passing event.
Copenhagen Flames (invited)
HLTV Rank: #27
Player to watch: Fredrik “roeJ” Jørgensen
Copenhagen Flames are looking strong as are many of the teams at this stage. Especially roeJ’s opening kill success has brought the team to another level. He wins 56% of his entry duels – an impressive number for a non-awper.
DBL Poney (invited)
HLTV Rank: #30
Player to watch: Alexandre “bodyy” Pianaro
DBL Poney isn’t only good for memes. Recently they announced their fifth, Pierre “Ex3rcice” Bulinge, who has some large shoes to fill replacing the legendary NBK-.
Galaxy Racer (qualified)
HLTV Rank: #53
Player to watch: Hugo “chawzyyy” Günther
Perfection was the name of the game for Galaxy Racer in the Regionals stage. They 2-0’ed SAW Youngsters, Apeks and Lyngby Vikings. The domination the Swedes handed over the Lyngby Vikings was impressive, a 16-6 on Inferno and a 16-4 on Mirage. The slick Regionals stage raises hopes that we’ll see Galaxy Racer reach the playoffs.
KOVA (qualified)
HLTV Rank: #107
Player to watch: Jussi “Airax” Airaksinen
KOVA’s run in the Regionals wasn’t simple but it worked. They played with EIGHT different players in total. Finally, the IGL himself got his way back onto the server after healing from an injury and he played lights out finishing with a 1.24 rating and beating the Young Ninjas unexpectedly. They aren’t expected to go through here but we’ll see if the Cinderella run continues.
X-kom AGO (invited)
HLTV Rank: #23
Player to watch: Michał “snatchie” Rudzki
Fiend (invited)
HLTV Rank: #32
Player to watch: Deyvid “h4rn” Benchev
Lyngby Vikings (qualified)
HLTV Rank: #39
Player to watch: Dion “FASRH” Derksen
Finest (qualified)
HLTV Rank: #84
Player to watch: Guy “anarkez” Trachtman
777 (qualified)
HLTV Rank: #54
Player to watch: Haris “H4RRE” Hadzic
Young Ninjas (qualified)
HLTV Rank: #43
Player to watch: Love “phzy” Smidebran
Apeks (qualified)
HLTV Rank: #55
Player to watch: Dennis “dennis” Edman
GORILLAZ (qualified)
HLTV Rank: #118
Player to watch: Jere “sergej” Salo

PSL Elisa Esports PUBG Spring Challenge finished yesterday and Team Liquid was crowned as the champion! Team Liquid has previously won the PSL season 7. Team Liquid goes home with 6500$, Virtus.Pro with 4500$, BigBossLayf with 2500$ and Redline with 1500$. It’s time to interview the winning team!
Congratulations! Let’s start with a classic: How does it feel right now?
Thank you! It always feels good to win a tournament and specially after our failure at PGI.S and PSL S9 being the last SUPER setting tournament for now it made it more special to win!
-mxey
You had some ups and downs during the finals. You did have a solid lead for most of the weekend but were you worried at any point that you might have to really battle for the championship in the last maps?
With a 50 point lead we felt really comfortable going into the last day, and we were not really contested at all for the first position because of that.
BBL Esports started off the day with cutting our lead down to around 25 points with 4 games remaining, but we knew as long as we played our own game we would maintain a healthy gap.
– clib
What made you perform better than the competitors? Were you guys just unbeatable this weekend, or were there some obvious mistakes you feel other teams didn’t exploit, or some tactics that you were surprised that they didn’t try?
I think that teams like Faze, BBL and WLA gifted us free wins by holding down splits near their loot spots until phase 3-5 and we just exploited that and won the games from there.
Clib has been a strong player for a while, but during his time with Team Liquid we have seen him playing on a whole nother level. What have you guys done as a team to incorporate clib and lift his overall performance level?
Most of the credit goes to clib himself. He trains very hard and has very high aspirations and expectations for himself. Having 3 really strong teammates around him has made it a bit easier for him to stand out because he can trust them to do their job in game and he can focus on his personal performance.
-7Teen
Follow up to that: Was Clib checking out the damage or kill stats during the final day so he could make sure he was still on the lead?
Maybe towards the last games when we 100% made it, but otherwise that isn’t the focus at all.
COVID has obviously been a huge problem for teams across the world, and not just for competing, but also for building synergy within a team. Do you think having a long standing roster, and playing together at PGI:S gives you an edge towards the teams that didn’t participate?
Yup, playing at events with the best teams in the world is the best practice you can have and it gives you an edge over the teams who dont get that practice!
– Jeemzz
So what’s next for Team Liquid PUBG?
Next up will be PCS4! Hope to see everyone there.
