Six qualified for ESL Pro League Finals

Throughout the last two months, a total of sixteen teams have been competing in two rather unconventional groups, played in a double-elimination bracket of eight teams each.

Group A has now been finished with the then-dignitas team (currently TSM) besting myKPV.de and CPH Wolves (ex-myXMG), while Natus Vincere got through ESC and PENTA to take two ESL Pro League Winter Finals spots.

In the lower bracket 3DMAX faced Epsilon for a third spot earlier today, and it was the Finns who scraped through after two 16-11 scores on de_mirage and de_inferno. The other LB decider saw CPH Wolves sealing the deal against ESC moments ago after an overtime thriller on the third map, de_nuke.

Group B's upper bracket has been finished as well, the French duo Titan and LDLC have both qualified following wins against Virtus.pro and dignitas (ex-Deponeret), respectively.

ESL Pro League Winter Finals are expected to take place after ESL One Katowice supposedly in Cologne, Germany with $48,000 on the line.
