NA Ascension -- Games to Watch

I figured I would list some of the really interesting games that are currently leading up to Americas League Ascension for your interest (since all the regions are fun to watch)

So far, only one team (9z Team, Argentina) has qualified for Ascension through LATAM-South on circuit points after comfortably winning 3-1 against Furious Gaming. Congrats to them!

For LATAM-North, the lone slot is going to be challenged to the very end, with FUSION and Six Karma fighting in the split's playoff grand finals. They're neck and neck in points with 6K barely ahead, so whoever wins this match goes to Ascension. This match isn't until June 10th, but given the two teams's history with each other I expect it to be a banger. FUS vs 6K

For Brazil, it's still technically anyone's game, with the current favorites being The Union. For UNI to qualify though, they need to win both of their upcoming series and make the grand final to guarantee their spot. The same story applies to Keyd Stars. ODDIK, TBK, and 00 Nation aren't very far behind on circuit points. however, so they'll be fighting to upset and steal a spot. The path for them is difficult, but by no means unreachable.

For NA, everyone knows that the obvious contenders for now are M80, MxM, and The Guard. Based on their forms last split, the games to watch today are TGRD vs FAZE and M80 vs SR. Faze looks to get revenge on The Guard after being stomped 2-0 during the split, and Shopify hopes to beat M80 once again after giving them their lone defeat in the last split.

Also, if anyone has any interesting games for the APAC/EMEA Ascension path feel free to list them here! I don't watch those regions often but would like to learn more :)

this game sorely needs more central american/caribbean/north latam rep. whoever of FUS and 6K wins I'll be rooting for them :)

they do, but they would have to win the whole event. they're in the loser's bracket right now so their situation is very dire

edit: some quick maths, i think they have to win the whole event and also not have UNI or VKS reach either of the finals. so yeah, it'll be hard. liberty's in a tough spot because they sorely lack points

minor thing but The Guard is playing FaZe tomorrow, not today. Today is M80 vs SR and OXG vs G2 (these two are the dark horse teams, so I actually recommend watching this more than The Guard vs FaZe since that will be a stomp)

oops, that's on me. i thought all four NA matches were today

i didn't mention OXG/G2 because i still don't fully trust G2 to show up after that abysmal split. if they do, then yeah, that match will be a banger
