<\/p>\nThe first elimination matches of Stage 3 at the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 delivered both drama and the first officially eliminated teams. Liquid and PARIVISION, who entered the decisive day with a 0\u20132 record, failed to turn their tournament run around and fell to Passion UA and 3DMAX respectively. Both series ended 2\u20130, but each carried its own story \u2014 one about complete tactical control, the other about running out of stamina in the longest Bo3 of the stage.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Liquid<\/strong><\/p>\n Liquid entered Stage 3 already in shaky form:<\/p>\n The team repeatedly lost structure in key moments, and its star players struggled to consistently deliver \u2014 issues that had been building up throughout the entire Major.<\/p>\n PARIVISION<\/strong><\/p>\n The Russian lineup had one of the toughest days among all teams:<\/p>\n Their gameplay became increasingly chaotic, and macro mistakes turned critical right before the elimination match.<\/p>\n Passion UA<\/strong><\/p>\n The Ukrainian squad arrived in the 0\u20132 pool despite a solid start to the Major:<\/p>\n Although Passion UA lacked stability, they maintained structure and confidence \u2014 which became the key difference in the match against Liquid.<\/p>\n 3DMAX<\/strong><\/p>\n The French team opened Stage 3 with two difficult losses:<\/p>\n Even so, 3DMAX remained competitive in duels and noticeably improved their late-series performance \u2014 a foundation that carried them through against PARIVISION.<\/p>\n\n\n
