Things are heating up as the European RMRs head toward crunch time.

With the second day of play concluded in Malta, the teams that will be battling for the first qualification berths to Rio are known, as well as the teams who will be fighting to keep their Major dreams alive.

Any teams facing elimination or qualification will be playing best of threes from here on out, in other words the teams in the 2-0 or 0-2 brackets. For the teams at 1-1, they will have one more round of best of ones.

Most of the names vying for qualification from the European RMR A are predictable, however there is one surprise package as Sprout will face off against FaZe after they bested both FORZE and Spirit to go 2-0. Cloud9 will take on Ninjas in Pyjamas in the other qualification bout.

Over in the European RMR B, Natus Vincere have a match against Outsiders to see who will be first to book their ticket to Rio, whilst ENCE will be hoping their new roster continues to click against BIG, who impressively bested Vitality to seal their 2-0 record. ENCE and BIG will be the only squads to play their 2-0 series on Friday.
