Top moments
The record said B8
On paper Legacy were the stronger team. They were 9th in the Valve Regional Standings released on Monday, with B8 28th, and Polymarket listed Legacy at about 57% before the first map.
The head-to-head disagreed. Our records go back to July 2025, and B8 have won all five meetings since the first in September, three of them over the full three maps.
Legacy also played Beijing with a stand-in. They benched n1ssim on Oct 28 and brought in ksloks until the end of the season, and they leave after losing both series, to TheMongolz and B8.
What’s next for B8
B8 play NAVI in the lower-bracket semifinal, and the winner is one series from the group’s last playoff place.
