NAVI clinch playoff despite struggles in Group A

The first group at ESL Pro League Season 16 came to an end yesterday, presenting its first three playoff teams. At top of the table, we saw Vitality grab the 1st seed, with the Dan “apEX” Madesclaire-led squad going unbeaten throughout the group stage only giving up two maps in the process.

Joining Vitality in the playoff stage are Fnatic and NAVI despite the Ukrainian super team playing some mediocre Counter-Strike, losing three consecutive matches against Endpoint, Vitality and NIP.
