The final playoff participants of PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025 have been determined

The last matches took place between teams that were in the 2-2 bracket and managed to seize their chances to advance to the playoffs.

On the final day of play before the playoffs began, the following matchups took place: Astralis vs. BIG, SAW vs. 3DMAX, and MOUZ vs. Virtus.pro. Let's take a closer look at each of them:

1. In the match between Astralis and BIG, the favorite was the team led by Casper "cadiaN," albeit with a slight advantage. The match ended in two maps, despite Ancient being the first pick—a map where BIG is considered extremely strong. The first map ended with a score of 13-7, and the second map, Inferno, finished 13-8, both in favor of Astralis, securing their spot in the playoffs. The standout players were Martin "stavn" Lund and Nicolai "device" Reedtz, who finished with KDA +14 and ratings of 1.44 and 1.26, respectively.
2. The match between 3DMAX and SAW was perhaps the most unpredictable in terms of results, as the French lineup had been showing more consistent performance throughout the tournament. Meanwhile, the Portuguese team had announced just before the tournament that two players, roman and shr, would leave the roster after the event. However, contrary to expectations, SAW won 2-0, even though the second map was Dust2—considered the strongest map for the French team.
3. The final and most exciting match was between MOUZ and Virtus.pro, where all three maps were played. Despite the battle, the last map, Mirage, ended with a dominant 13-2 scoreline.

The quarterfinal matchups are as follows: paiN vs. MOUZ, The MongolZ vs. Astralis, Falcons vs. Eternal Fire, and FaZe Clan vs. SAW.
