The Six Invitational 2023 Day 3 is now over. These are some of the best statistics and moments that the teams left us:
Four MNM Gaming players among the top 10
MNM Gaming continue to impress. Yesterday, the Europeans defeated the Jönköping Major grand-finalists Team Liquid 2-0 to extend their winning streak to three perfect series.
Heading into Day 4 of the Six Invitational, Josh "Yuzus" Pritchard is the best player in the competition with a SiegeGG Rating of 1.36. He is tied with yesterday's MVP Lucas "DiasLucas" Dias and followed by Stéphane "Shaiiko" Lebleu, who has already surpassed the 100 kills tally at the Six Invitational 2023.
Team Liquid, who have had a horrendous start to the Six Invitational, are poor individually as well. Luccas "Paluh" Molina's Rating is extremely low compared to other international performances from him, as the team's best player heading into Day 4 is Pablo "resetz" Oliveira (1.06).
Three 2.00 Rating performances
Yesterday, three players achieved SiegeGG ratings of more than 2.00 in individual maps.
David "Iconic" Iffidon's performance for Astralis on Bank awarded him a SiegeGG Rating of 2.04 as he got a K-D of 16-4 (+12) in just nine rounds played. With an entry fragging balance of 4-2 (+2), he was the best on the map.
Gabriel "HerdsZ" Herdina's performance in w7m esports' flawless victory against Spacestation Gaming was also worthy of a shout, as he got a SiegeGG Rating of 2.22 after registering a K-D of 13-2 (+11) and a KOST of 86. His teammate Joao "Jv92" Vitor was close to joining the list as he got a SiegeGG Rating of 1.98 on the first map of the series, Chalet.
Finally, Lucas "DiasLucas" Dias recorded the best individual performance of Day 4 with a SiegeGG Rating of 2.31, a K-D of 15-1 (+14), and a perfect KOST to his name when playing against Heroic on Bank.
DZ win triple overtime thriller
DarkZero Esports defeated Team Secret after playing three consecutive overtimes. DarkZero Esports' 8-6 victory on Skyscraper was followed by an 8-6 win for Team Secret on Bank. Later on, both teams went to maximum overtime on Theme Park, with the Americans taking the three points.
Roberto "Panbazou" Feliciano's entry numbers were outstanding, as he got an entry balance of 12-4 (+8). Meanwhile, Nick "njr" Rapier got the Americans' best Rating. Dawid "Gruby" Marciniak is also worthy of a shout, as he was Team Secret's best player.
11 clutches in Team BDS's second loss
The match between LOS oNe and Team BDS saw 11 clutches, with the Brazilians getting five and the Frenchmen six.
Loïc "BriD" Chongthep, who clutched the last round of Team BDS's series against Oxygen Esports, is now the player with the most clutches with five total.
Undoubtedly, the best clutch in the series was Gabriel "Maia" Maia's 1v4 clutch on Chalet's Garage. LOS oNe's three clutches on the final map of the series allowed the Brazilians to have a temporary four-round lead, which ended up being the difference.
NA is still on top
Despite Spacestation Gaming's heavy loss against w7m esports (1-7, 0-7), North America is still the best-performing region at the Six Invitational 2023.
M80 and DarkZero Esports' victories against the European sides Heroic and Team Secret, respectively, pushed Europe to third place as Brazil currently is in second, mainly thanks to LOS oNe's win against Team BDS.
Meanwhile, APAC's only win so far in the competition is still CAG's Day 1 victory against Team BDS.
