?With a 0-1-0-6 record, beastcoast are guaranteed to finish the North America League 2023 – Stage 2 outside the top six and miss out on the playoffs. On the other side, Luminosity Gaming are 0-2-1-3 and in a tight race with Spacestation Gaming and Mirage for the final spot leading to Phase 2.

Like beastcoast, LG have not won a single game in regulation, and they have only looked good against other weaker teams. However, as much as we can doubt Luminosity, beastcoast are in a much worse spot.

They lost 3-7 against Mirage on Friday and were lucky to edge past Spacestation Gaming (8-7) a day prior. Luminosity Gaming have a lot to figure out, but they’ve shown more this season and field better players.

Spacestation Gaming were expected to do well this stage but showed signs of struggles very early. Alec “Fultz” Fultz and co. lost their first two games against M80 (1-7) and beastcoast (7-8); however, they showed some improvement on Friday when SSG defeated Soniqs (8-7) and Wildcard Gaming (7-4).

Mirage are tied with SSG in points; however, unlike SSG, Mirage started the stage strong but lost momentum across the last two rounds with defeats against Soniqs (4-7) and M80 (7-2). So even though the teams look evenly matched, Spacestation Gaming look like a smarter play here.

They’re slowly ramping up and are 8-0 in the head-to-head since June 2021, which includes a 2-0 sweep from BREAKING POINT in August. At even odds or better, SSG are a no-brainer pick.
