ESL Pro League Season 8 Europe comes to a close

14-11-2018 23:05

The European division of ESL Pro League Season 8 has come to a close with the top seven teams locking spots at the finals.

A month and a half of action saw the 14 teams participating in the European division play two best-of-ones against each other for seven spots at the seasonal finals in Odense, Denmark at the beginning of December.

Astralis dominated the league from start to finish, locking the top spot with 62 points, followed by Natus Vincere, BIG, and North, all of whom had their place at the finals decided before the last day of competition came to a close.

Astralis topped the league

After their last matches, HellRaisers, MOUZ, and G2 closed out the top seven and made their way to the finals. The final standings of ESL Pro League Season 8 are the following:

1. Astralis - Finals
2. Natus Vincere - Finals
3. BIG - Finals
4. North - Finals
5. HellRaisers - Finals
6. MOUZ - Finals
7. G2 - Finals
8. Windigo - $18,000
9. ex-Space Soldiers - $17,000
10. HEROIC - $16,000
11. FaZe - $15,000
12. Ninjas in Pyjamas - $14,000 (S8 Relegation)
13. fnatic - $13,000 (S8 Relegation)
14. AGO - $12,000 (Relegated to MDL S30)

AGO have been automatically relegated to Mountain Dew League after placing last in the EU division, while Ninjas in Pyjamas and fnatic will take part in the relegation process.

At the moment, the following teams are qualified for the ESL Pro League Season 8 Finals, set to take place on December 4-9:

North America #6

South America #1

Later today, the last matches of ESL Pro League's North American division will determine the sixth team advancing from the region, with INTZ, Cloud9, eUnited, and Complexity still in the running.

The last spot will come from Latin America League's best-of-five grand final between Sharks and Isurus, which is currently underway.

Well deserved! Good luck! ez for BIG BIG win LAN

BIG are the perfect exemple of why online leagues are shit, german onliners who probably wont even make it out of groups at this LAN final

2018-11-16 12:14

They did well on all recent LANs wtf are you talking about

2018-11-16 15:21

0/8 only exemple u have is that fluke cologne run and ofc its in germany

2018-11-15 01:03

astralis too strong

Astralis is as strong as it needs to be. The era is happening.

2018-11-14 23:57

2018-11-15 00:12

Even when fnatic were dominating in the past, sometimes any teams could beat them Now Astralis are actually strong so teams from top-3 hltv (navi, liquid) can't even win a map against them I actually think it's the best team in cs go for all time

2018-11-15 07:52

They still lose maps and haven't won every tournament. In 11 tournaments they have 7 victories, two 2nd place and two 3-4th place (which is insane by anybody's standard). So they are not unbeatable but if they win the grand slam and the next major, then i believe that they have indeed created a new era. The era isn't quite here yet but it is in the making. Likely all 5 of them will be in hltv's top 12 of 2018, maybe even top 10.

2018-11-15 21:05

got 2/0 ed by faze and should have lost to a new fnatic lineup just last tournament..+not even making to the final at blast but yeah "unbeatable"

icsde

Feelsbad for the swedes

At least nip made ecs finals i guess

They are coming alive now and start to play at decent level, sad its too late but yeah cheering for nip now in ecs i guess

2018-11-14 23:16

Just online cs man

2018-11-14 23:18

sad, i want to see them more in next LAN after a good run in Chicago,it was a long time not seen Fnatic played well before since lekro left

2018-11-15 13:16

Sadly they won't have any lan attendences except for this one hltv.org/events/4160/plg-grand-slam-2018 which isn't rly a big event judging by the teams and prize pool

2018-11-15 13:25

relegation is on LAN actually so thats untrue ;)))

2018-11-16 12:08

Well, one lan with 4 teams additionally isn't that much either

just kidding but yeah it sucks that esl and ecs still dont understand that making online leagues is shit and random, just look at the team attending esl final now, 4 good LAN teams and the rest are shit or onliners

2018-11-16 12:10

Yup agreed. A LCS kind of still would be way better than online leagues.

2018-11-16 12:57

or Like Eleague did for 1st season but a bit less long

2018-11-16 13:30

eleague season 1 was perfect dude

yeah just need to make it a bit a bit faster because I remember some dudes complained about the time spent there (or invite teams who are actually commited in their sport and dont whine for it)

2018-11-16 13:34

faze bestest

2018-11-14 23:09

bug onliners ..

Sums up how random online leagues are lol, sale for g2, EPL finals and probably ECS relegation

2018-11-14 23:23

Yeah lol

2018-11-14 23:46

online CS in a nutshell, totally shit and random, yet newfags use those games as an argument to say a certain team is good or bad

2018-11-16 12:07

See you, Sweden! Haha

2018-11-14 23:20

"Fan of North"

2018-11-14 23:24

North fan talking shit lmao, what a joke

2018-11-14 23:44

Either you are fan of a team or you are not. Everyone can be plastic and support the winning teams at that moment. North are top 9, won DH masters through to finals in ECS and ESL. As a Dane, I'm just happy to see Denmark as the best CS country.

2018-11-15 00:02

Astralis top1 North Tier 6

2018-11-15 02:09

facebook btw

ez 4 toxic woxic its time disband trash soldiers

2018-11-14 23:28

How does the relegation process go?

2018-11-14 23:32

I think top1 in MDL takes 1 spot in EPL and top2 and top3 fight vs fnatic and NiP for another 2. Kinguin/3DMAX will play for 1st/2nd and Epsilon vs VP for 3rd/4th in MDL. Example Nip vs 3rd MDL Fnatic vs 2nd MDL Winner of nip/3rd vs winner of fnatic/2nd (winner qualifies) Loser of nip/3rd vs loser of fnatic/2nd (winner plays loser of previous match for 2nd spot)

2018-11-15 00:11

makes sense bro

2018-11-15 01:22

2018-11-15 04:52

Windigo so close, yet so far... feelsbadman At least they managed to pull away and stay in the league for next season, now time to practice and improve for the major quals.

2018-11-14 23:33

G2 slip into the dm's

nt windigo, it's a good first season, next time u will make it hopefully ))

2018-11-14 23:51

izi for Astralis. an era is upon us.

2018-11-14 23:59

Poland relegated again kek

2018-11-15 00:03

VP can qualify or go to relegation vs fnatic/nip. kinguin can make it to relegation if they beat epsilon. If they both fail rip Poland.

2018-11-15 00:14

2018-11-15 00:28

nip and fnc in relegation.. my god i want 2015/16 back

2018-11-15 00:32

Rip AGO, their current lineup really sucks

Nip and fnatic playing to get out of relegation. Lel

2018-11-15 01:36

Imagine hearing in 2015 that NiP and Fnatic were in relegation from Pro League.

2018-11-15 02:38

NiP, fnatic only in name with 2/5 left.

Is it true that with this sort of format only 3 teams will be shuffled each season? (meaning 3 teams in 3 teams out) since the top 11 teams automatically qualify for the next season?
