North America has battled for 4 spots at the ESL Pro League season finals which start May 12th.
Similar to EU counterpart NiP,
Luminosity walked their way through the event going 18-4. Bringing up
the rear of the NA league was KKona. KKona’s appearance in the league
was laughable as they were only able to pick up one map the entire
league ending 1-21.
Once again there was a close fight
for the remainder of the final spots. Optic edged out NRG for 3rd in the
league and NRG fell to fifth Team Liquid who claimed 4th by a round win
differential.
Cloud 9 who has stuggled as of late
secured themselves the second spot. CLG performed poorly and ended in
10th place with a 6 game losing streak.
