How did they do it?
The tournament format for the R6 European League Season 1 Stage 2 was a Round-Robin league format. This allowed BDS to verse every single team in the event, which certainly helped them get the maximum points.
Team BDS kicked off the event with some outstanding performances which allowed them to lead the pack with a 4-0-0 score line, remaining undefeated by the 4th playday. However in the 5th playday, they matched up versus Team Vitality, which held their ground versus BDS, and tied the match 6-6. This meant that BDS received their first tie at the event, and were still at the top of the leaderboard.

The games continued, and BDS had another successful playday after taking down Team Secret in Playday 6. Although, when the 7th playday came around, Natus Vincere showed up and had a brilliant performance versus BDS which caused their first loss at 2nd stage of the R6 EU league. This loss versus Na’Vi meant that the team was 5-1-1 in terms of scores, and that Team Secret was catching up.
BDS upped their game, and won the final 2 playday matches to seal the deal and after 4 intense weeks of competition, BDS ended the event in 1st place.
What did this event mean for Europe?
