We're headed into the final week of the Group Stage at ESL Impact League S6 Europe, where five teams will qualify for the LAN Finals in Stockholm.

Katharina "KiTKaT" Bauenmand and her troops are currently placed fourth in Group B but sit alongside third-placed team Let Her Cook at 6 points, meaning there's work to be done on Friday, October 18, when going up against NAVI Javelins.

‍

The two top teams from each group directly qualify for the LAN finals, while the second to third-placed teams will face off in a Play-in Stage, where only one team fails to qualify.

Group B standings

1. NIP Impact (12 points)
2. NAVI Javelins (9 points)
3. Let Her Cook (6 points)
4. Astralis Women (6 points)
5. Spirit fe (3 points)
6. ENCE Athena (0 points)

At the Play-in Stage, the second-placed teams will battle against the third-placed teams from the other group.

The losers of their matches face each other in a fifth-place decider match to determine who's going to Stockholm and who's going home.

‍Two Advancement Scenarios

‍On Friday, October 18, the Women's team aims to finish within the top three, which they could secure with a victory versus NAVI Javelins.

Even with a 1-2 loss, Marie "marie" Toft & Co. could qualify, but it depends on outside factors. NIP Impact must win versus Let Her Cook, while ENCE Athena should suffer a 1-2 loss to Spirit fe.

• Scenario 1: Women grabs a win vs. NAVI Javelins, which secures second-place

• Scenario 2: A narrow 1-2 loss vs. NAVI Javelins, while Let Her Cook loses against NIP Impact and ENCE Athena loses 1-2 vs. Spirit fe

If everything aligns perfectly, then these are the ways in which the Women's team secures a top-three spot in the group and a spot at the Play-in stage the following day, Saturday, October 19.

Astralis Women Group B Results

• 1-2 vs. Spirit fe
• 2-0 vs. ENCE Athena
• 2-1 vs. Let Her Cook
• 0-2 vs,. NIP Impact
• TBD vs. NAVI Javelins‍
