HAVU Gaming routed Team Envy 2-0 on Tuesday to advance to the Group A final in the second phase of Flashpoint 1.
In the day's only other match, Cloud9 stayed alive with a 2-0 sweep of the Copenhagen Flames in a Group A losers-bracket matchup. Cloud 9 will meet Envy on Saturday for the right to oppose HAVU in the Sunday group final.
The 12-team, $1 million Counter-Strike: Global Offensive event began March 13 at FACEIT Studio in Los Angeles, but with the state of California's stay-at-home order, action subsequently was moved online.
Flashpoint 1 features two group phases, with teams amassing points in both in an attempt to qualify for the eight-team, double-elimination playoff bracket. The first two phases, which are also double elimination, have teams split into three groups of four, with all matches best-of-three.
The second group phase, which involves three groups, is set to run through Sunday. The playoffs are scheduled for April 9-19. The champion will claim $500,000 while the runner-up will receive $250,000.
HAVU had little trouble advancing, topping Envy 16-7 on Mirage, 16-6 on Dust II.
Cloud9 topped the Flames 16-8 on Dust II before emerging with a 22-19, double-overtime win on Overpass.
Group B resumes Wednesday, with Gen.G opposing MIBR in the winners bracket while Dignitas takes on Orgless in the losers bracket.
On Thursday, Group C will continue with MAD Lions meeting c0ntact Gaming in the winners bracket, and Chaos EC squaring off with FunPlus Phoenix in the losers bracket.
