ESL Pro League Season 12: events digest
Ihor MatusYesterday's game day at ESL Pro League Season 12 was interesting. For example, we were able to watch the first defeat of Complexity Gaming. The team dispersed in a joke and was able to win four victories in a row. It was interesting to watch yesterday's confrontation both for Complexity fans and those who were worried about mousesports. The meeting was tense on the first map, and there the teams needed to spend two series of additional rounds to determine the winner. Nuke ended with a score of 22-20 in favor of mouz, and on the second map, having gained a moral advantage, they beat the opponents with a result of 16-9. That was the end of the events in Europe in Group B.
Group A had two tense fights. OG played against ENCE and won 2-1. On the last map, they lost only four rounds to their opponents. The fight between BIG and GODSENT was probably the longest, since the first maps were brought to overtime. Vertigo finished 19-15 in favor of GODSENT and Mirage ended 22-19 in favor of BIG. The last Nuke was the fastest for them and finished at 16-7 in favor of BIG. Thus, BIG were able to gain a foothold in the top three and now they can even compete not just for the playoffs, but for their place in the upper bracket, which is far from empty in this tournament. Let us remind you that the team that reaches the grand final through the upper bracket will have an advantage over the rival in the form of one won card.
In America, FURIA Esports made some effort to beat Evil Geniuses. If the first map ended with a score of 16-8, then the second was a good test for them, since Evil Geniuses took 14 rounds there. FURIA have earned their fourth victory in a row and have no defeats, but for Evil Geniuses this fight was the first to lose in the ongoing ESL Pro League Season 12. Now EG have taken the second position and now is not the time for them to relax, as Team is already stepping on their heels. Liquid.
