Day three of PGL Masters Bucharest 2026, on 26 October, features the first playoff-qualifying matches as well as elimination games in the Swiss stage.
Aurora, whose lineup includes Macedonian player Damjan "kyxsan" Stoilkovski, face Nemiga in the 1-1 pool. Aurora previously beat G2 and will look to carry that form into this match.
The headline game in the same pool is Spirit against FURIA. Spirit lost their opener to BETBOOM but bounced back convincingly against TYLOO. The 1-1 pool also includes The MongolZ against MOUZ and Liquid against Legacy.
In the 2-0 pool, Vitality play FUT and Natus Vincere face BETBOOM. Natus Vincere appear to have done enough for a Major invite after beating G2 and FURIA, and a win would remove any remaining doubt. For FUT, attention is on Álvaro "SunPayus" García, who must play five matches with the team before 2 November to replace Nikita "cmtry" Samolotov.
In the 0-2 pool, G2, who lost to Natus Vincere and Aurora, play DENDELE, while 9z meet TYLOO.
