Pro League EU finalists decided

27-4-2016 01:16

The European division of ESL Pro League Season 3 has come to an end, as NiP, Astralis, fnatic and G2 have secured spots at the $512,000 finals taking place in London, United Kingdom from May 12-15.

Over the course of nine weeks 12 teams have fought for four spots at the third season's finals as well as $119,000 allocated for each divison's online portion of ESL Pro League Season 3.

From beginning to end Ninjas in Pyjamas have been in the driving seat, winning 19 of their 22 matches and thus securing first place in the league.

Astralis and fnatic secured a place as well as they split maps in the last week's matches, while G2 made it past Natus Vincere due to a tiebreaker scenario.

NiP power through to Season 3 Finals

After the Ukraine-based team exchanged maps with MOUZ, their fate was in the hands of fnatic, who had to win one of the maps versus Astralis to escape a three-way tie, which would have put G2 in fifth place due to head-to-head results.

However, such a scenario didn't occur - G2 and Natus Vincere split maps in their encounter, which meant their placing was decided by rounds won as the second tie-breaking condition (G2 - 305, Natus Vincere - 298).

The final standings of the European division are following:

1. Ninjas in Pyjamas - Finals spot

2. Astralis - Finals spot

3. fnatic - Finals spot

4. G2 - Finals spot

5. Natus Vincere - $27,000

6. Dignitas - $23,500

7. FaZe - $20,000

8. MOUZ - $16,500

9. Envy -$13,000

10. SK - $9,500

11. FlipSid3 - $6,000

12. Virtus.pro - $3,500

As ESL have adjusted the format of the league, which will have 14 spots in the next season, Virtus.pro has a chance to stay in the league, as they will face the second-placed team from the Premier division to keep their spot.

do you know how stupid you sound when you use the word vote and fascism in the same sentence? i might be wrong but i guess you live in a district where the majority voted for VdB. Let's take all these asylbewerber that are living near me to your neighbourhood. you would change your mind really quickly.

As this is the election for the head of STATE (not the head of the government -> parlamential election) you want to tell me that somebody who never had a part in any government is guilty of getting thousands of ppl into Austria? bad b8 m8

but he is pro such government, that lets thousand of peoples in. have you ever read or watch what vdb demands? multi-kulti, open borders, more migration and refugees. yeah sure, how about we put some of them in his mansion? or in his neighbourhood. oh yeah that would be undemocratic and nazi-like. get outta here man

I get to think that you are the one not understanding what he said. Van der Bellen stated that REFUGEES; and not some illegal immigrants; Refugees fleeing war should be let in due to the contracts which legally bind Austria such as the Genfer Flüchtlingskonvention. And he does not life in a mansion but in a flat in Mariahilf. And that government that you mentioned passed/will pass a law that is going to make it extremely hard for future coming ppl. Btw; migration is the thing everybody wants because if they are fully migrated in the society all you will know them apart from somebody else is by the colour of the skin.

aha in a flat in mariahilf (in a 2 zimmerwohnung i guess lel), the asylanten hochburg, am i right? neither does hofer ofc but man you clearly don't understand how fearful living near them really is. is it a coincidence that everyone near my sprengel voted for "50%" hofer? they don't share the same culture as we do, that's the problem. and if I lived in vienna in a district where there are not so many refugees, i could agree on your point, but not like this

2016-04-27 20:50

I have some few ppl living a couple of hundred meters away from me but i have to say that those are mostly families so I do not know the biggest group that came which is single males. I think we can agree that we do not agree.
