JoshRT's Prospects win ESEA Intermediate over ETHEREAL
The ESEA Intermediate playoffs have concluded, with Prospects taking the victory over ETHEREAL (16-7 Mirage, 16-8 Train). It is currently unknown whether or not they will be promoted to MDL for Season 28.
The first map started with a strong CT half by Prospects, leading 10-5. They converted it into a strong Terrorist half, and with richie in the lead, Prospects took Mirage 16-7.
The first half of Train was much closer, with ETHEREAL gaining seven T rounds. The second half played out fairly similarly, but this time vberg stepped up big, and with his 29 kills, Prospects closed out the second map 16-8 and the series 2-0.
The possibility of promotion shouldn't worry this squad too much though, as Josh "JoshRT" Lee is no stranger to the upper ESEA divisions, having played MDL for eight seasons, including making the playoffs twice.
Moveups are set to be announced tomorrow, however MDL moveups generally occur closer to the start of the season.
