M80 were indomitable in their run through the league, going 11-0 in best-of-threes and dropping just one map to BOSS in the group stage. Dominance from Marcus "maNkz" Kjeldsen's side continued in the playoffs, where they cruised past Party Astronauts before claiming a hard-fought 2-0 win over BOSS in the upper finals to book a ticket to Malta.
The addition of Fritz "slaxz-" Dietrich has paid off in spades for the team, who will also attend ESL Challenger Atlanta from December 15-17 after advancing through the NA closed qualifier. It also marks their return to Pro League after they exited Season 18 in last place with losses to Apeks, 5yclone, and 9z.

BOSS played under the Wildcard banner for a majority of the season before four of their players were dropped by the organization in a shock move, and they've ensured that the organization will regret that decision in the short-term by earning a spot in Pro League with Adam "WolfY" Andersson as their fifth.
The team were second only to M80 in the group stage, dropping one series to them and another to Party Astronauts to earn a bye to the upper semis in the playoffs.
They took down Nouns in their opening match of the bracket stage before claiming revenge over Party Astronauts for their group stage loss, losing Nuke only to reverse-sweep the series with wins on Ancient and Vertigo to cool off a red-hot run of form from Danny "Cxzi" Strzelczyk.
