ESL Pro League list finalised

25-11-2014 03:19

myXMG and Orbito are the last two teams to have secured entry into the first edition of the ESL Pro League.

The very last qualifier for the ESL Pro League saw the winners of the Go4CS:GO Cups #120, #121 and #122 face off in a round robin stage for two places in the $48,000 competition.

The winner of that first cup, mousesports, had already secured a place in the Pro League via the German qualifier so they were replaced by the runner-up of the European tournament, FlipSid3 Tactics.

Friis' myXMG will take part in the $48,000 league

In the showdown between the two Swedish teams, Orbit, powered by great individual displays from Mathias "⁠pauf⁠" Köhler and Andreas "⁠Maxaki⁠" Andersson, ran riot as they picked up a 16-3 victory on de_mirage and a 16-10 win on de_cache.

FlipSid3, who will attend DH Winter later this week, were now in a must-win situation, and even though they gave a much better account of themselves, they could not stop myXMG from sealing a 2-0 victory (16-13 on de_mirage, 21-17 on de_overpass).

This means that the following 16 teams will take part in the ESL Pro League:

Na`Vi	Epsilon
Titan	dignitas
NiP	LDLC
Virtus.pro	Planetkey Dynamics
fm-eSports	mousesports
k1ck	ESC Gaming
CPH Wolves	myKPV.de
Orbit	myXMG

Stay tuned to HLTV.org for full coverage of the ESL Pro League, which will kick off in early December.

gl to all!

2014-11-25 08:20

gl FM great opportunity

2014-11-25 03:32

Fnatic declined because they wanted a break. Just like they declined Case King to rest before DHW.

No Fnatic? Good tournament to me.

2014-11-25 03:34

Nice list. GL to Mouz!

damn no fnatic :( guess these 16 tier2-5 teams will get some moneyz

2014-11-25 03:37

Fnatic can't attend because the cheats they use are going to be down during this time Kappa

2014-11-25 03:57

wth is epsilon's lineup going to be?

2014-11-25 04:02

We might actually see a whole new team from another country if ScreaM leaves for Titan.

2014-11-25 06:31

I actually really like the teams picked. It's a good mix of upper tier teams with some up and coming talent who are on the verge of becoming international teams. Hopefully this will give the lesser known teams some experience! However, would be nice to see -fmesports and +HR. There really is no poiint in having a UK team since they never seem to last more than a month anyways. They'll be dead byu the end of the season. Anyone know who is on fmesports anyways?
