ENCE qualifies for playoffs at ESL Pro League
The Finnish Organization booked the last ticket from Group A with a victory against Bad News Bears.
There was only one question left to be answered in Group A at ESL Pro League Season 14. Would Astralis or ENCE secure a spot in the playoffs?
ENCE could do the business themselves with a win against Bad News Bears, who were yet to win a single map during the four matches they had played at the tournament. It didn't change today.
It did not take ENCE a long time to take full control of the match. On Overpass they took a commanding 13-2 lead at halftime killing all suspense about the outcome of that map.
Fortunately, we got a much better map on Nuke. Here BNB and especially Michael 'Swisher' Schmid showed some of that talent, that had sent the NA team to Europe to compete. The 22-year-old American kept the Bears in the match dropping incredible 31 kills during the match. But it wasn't enough for BNB, who could see ENCE turn the heat up in the last rounds and secure a spot in the playoffs at ESL Pro League with Joonas 'doto' Forss in the spotlight after a solid performance equaling Swisher's 31 kills.
Bad News Bears leaves the tournament without a win.
