How was the ESL Pro League Season 16 Conference?
Ihor MatusESL Pro League Season 16 Conference has come to an end. Based on its results, six participants were determined who qualified for the main event of EPL #16, where the prize pool of $835,000 will be drawn. The tournament was attended by both teams with good potential like MIBR and HEET, as well as simpler teams like VERTEX, TYLOO and others.
The teams that made it to the ESL Pro League in the upper bracket and did not need the right to make a mistake showed really excellent performance in all the maps played. This applies to absolutely all teams that entered the EPL through the upper bracket. MIBR, Endpoint, Eternal Fire and Outsiders did not suffer a single defeat in the fight against their opponents. HEET and FTW Esports have gone through a more thorny, but still successful path. They were unlucky in the first round and the teams fell to the lower bracket, where they completed the work they had begun.
As a result, MIBR, Endpoint, Eternal Fire and Outsiders are on the 1st-4th lines of the tournament table, while HEET and FTW Esports are on the 5th-6th lines. All six teams received invitations to the ESL Pro League Season 16 group stage, and the remaining 10 participants of the past event shared the total prize pool of $15,000 among each other.
