The playoffs of ASUS ROG Summer 2016, taking place in Helsinki, Finland, are set to begin as the group stage came to an end.

In Group A of the $25,000 event taking place in Helsinki, Millenium, who feature veteran duo Christophe "⁠SIXER⁠" Xia and Engin "⁠MAJ3R⁠" Küpeli, surprisingly came out on top following wins over Epsilon and Escape.

After the Swedes faced a tough elimination match against LGR, they were set on a collision course with André "⁠BARBARR⁠" Möller and company, who brought Casper "⁠cadiaN⁠" Møller to stand in for Bence "⁠DeadFox⁠" Böröcz who had sustained an injury prior to the event.

A three-map battle ended up with Epsilon taking second place in the group despite the Danish stand-in carrying Escape through Dust2 to start it off.

Group B then saw ENCE coming out ahead from a double-digit Mirage with ArchAngels and the same overtime-worthy map versus Space Soldiers whose Ismailcan "⁠XANTARES⁠" Dörtkardeş put in 41 frags.

The Turks then headed into a re-match with Tricked, whom they beat 16-11 on Dust2 in the initial round, and grabbed second place after turning Train around from a 3-12 deficit and winning Cobblestone comfortably.
