The final day has come to an end, and with it the long group stage of ESL Pro League Season 23 has concluded. The last playoff spots were secured by NaVi, FUT, and Astralis, while G2, FURIA, and 3DMAX were eliminated from the tournament today.
NaVi faced the French team 3DMAX, who had only recently started to recover after roster changes and a series of poor results. However, the “Born to Win” squad was determined to fight for a playoff spot until the very end, and they managed to secure an important victory and claim their slot.
FUT Esports delivered an incredible performance today and surprised everyone. They almost got completely crushed on the first map, but then managed to win the next two maps in a row and snatch the playoff spot from G2.
FURIA, on the other hand, seemingly did not want to go to the arena without FalleN, who had announced before the tournament that he would not play on stage. As a result, they failed to reach that stage altogether — losing to Astralis, while the Danish side confidently secured their place in the playoffs.
All results:
NaVi 2:1 3DMAX
FUT Esports 2:1 G2
FURIA 2:1 Astralis
