Final teams qualified for ESL Impact LAN finals

24-10-2022 12:14

The second iteration of ESL's female competition has all eight teams confirmed for the finals in Sweden.

With the qualification of NOFEAR5, FURIA fe and B4 fe, the team list for the ESL Impact League Season 2 Finals is confirmed, with eight female squads from across the world set to do battle in Jönköping, Sweden.

NOFEAR5 had to fight hard to earn their berth, squeaking through the double round-robin group stage of the online portion of the event ahead of NIP Impact on maps won, after the teams traded series against each other and both finished with a 3-3 record.

FURIA fe, runners up in the previous two Impact LANs, are now qualified

They then triumphed 2-1 over NAVI Javelins in a qualification bout to confirm their spot in Sweden, with Ksenia "⁠Ksu⁠" Volkova and Victoria "⁠Victoria⁠" Ukasova the driving forces in that match.

Over in the South American division FURIA fe and B4 fe had more straightforward paths to qualify for LAN, both teams posting thoroughly convincing 6-0 records in their respective groups.

B4 fe completed their qualification route by crushing Black Dragons fe 2-0, preventing their opponents from getting to double digits on either map, whilst FURIA fe lost the first map against MIBR fe before cruising through the next two 16-7.

CLG Red, EG Gold qualify for ESL Impact League Finals

The eight teams now qualified will meet in Jönköping on November 25 to compete for the lion's share of a $123,000 prize pool. The squads will be split across two GSL-style group stages, with the opening and winner's matches being best-of-one and the rest best-of-three, the top two teams from each group making it to a single-elimination playoff bracket.

The winners of the previous two Impact LAN events, Nigma Galaxy, will find themselves heavy favourites when the teams clash in Sweden as they set about an attempt to make it a three-peat of trophies.

FURIA fe will be expected to be Nigma's toughest competitors, as they were runners up both in Valencia and Dallas, but B4 fe's convincing showing in the South American portion of the league make them very legitimate dark horses.

The team list for the ESL Impact League Season 2 Finals is as follows:

2022-10-26 14:06

You clearly legally can be lmao Biologically maybe not fully, but legally yes

No not at all someone can pretend and play dress up all they want they'll still never be the opposite sex. You can't deny biological facts.

2022-10-26 17:38

Mf you know nothing about this lmfao, go pick up a book of law. In order to change to the opposite sex you don t just play dress up and do some operations. Besides those operations you need to pass psychological tests at god knows how many agencies both governmental and non-governmental. And yes, you can lawfully deny biology, id cards and all those papers are switched to the opposite gender, lawfully the trans human you are talking to is the opposite gender. If you like biology so much go live in the jungle where there are no laws, we evolved as humans so much to the point where we can act in a moral way, instead of acting like animals and the world being white and black, eat or be eaten etc.

2022-10-26 22:11

"then complained about me talking to you" nah i just made a proper observation that you are literally like a child

You do know that laws are made by the goverment and that they all have political agendas right?

2022-10-26 17:34

Ok you are baiting. "All have political agendas" lmfao. If you aren't trolling you need a reality check mate

2022-10-26 21:27

What so you don't believe that most world governments have their own agendas and are only in it for themselves? How else do you think politicians such as Nancy Pelosi, Rick Scott, Bernie Sanders etc.. increase their net worth by tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars but only after joining congress?

ah yes the political agenda of making their people feel comfortable and happy

2022-10-26 21:44

Sad for the non-qualification of BIG Equipa and Navi Javelins, look at the results of Navi they didn't lose a game in the group stage and come to the playoffs and fail. It's time to start thinking about ISL Impact 3 with 16 teams, with the quality of the teams in the EU, it's very unfair if only 2 teams qualify. Maybe a format with 6 EU teams, 4 SA, 4 NA, 1Asia, 1 South African.

it is sad to see a FURIA fe match pages, the comments are always making fun of olga and being transphobic. Smh...

+1 :(

A lot of people don't respect trans people in general. I'm actually surprised how few people are whining about it since this is HLTV

2022-10-24 18:01

Yeah its kinda messed up

2022-10-24 19:46

fr it makes all of us look bad while pushing away new members of the community like the new influx of female and trans players thanks to the impact circuit
