ENCE, Red Reserve, NiP advance to Europe Minor

ENCE, Red Reserve, and Ninjas in Pyjamas have secured berths at the Europe Minor by clinching their third wins in the closed qualifier.

Aleksi "⁠allu⁠" Jalli & co. started the qualifier with a close loss to the former EnVyUs team LeftOut, but they came back with three wins in a row, against Epsilon, Japaleno, and Sprout, to clinch their place at the Europe Minor.

Red Reserve shared a similar path and ended their run in the closed qualifier with a 3-1 record, beating Epsilon, EURONICS, and LeftOut, all in 2-0 series.
