coldzera was the deciding factor for SK in overtime on Train

SK qualify for EPL S7 Finals while Ghost shock compLexity

Tense matches on the final day of ESL's Pro League have decided which team will make their way to Dallas.

The online portion of Season 7 of ESL's Pro League has come to a close, with a number of last minute matches deciding which teams would claim two coveted spots — one spot to qualify for the LAN Finals in Dallas, and one to decide which team would remain in the league while two others faced relegation.

The final match day saw Splyce claim an early upset against Cloud9 on Inferno, giving them the slimmest of chances to inch their way out of relegation territory if they could grab a 2-0; alas, their efforts proved to be in vain at the end of the day as Tyler "Skadoodle" Latham led the way for Cloud9 to a close second map victory.

The other condition for Splyce to claim #9 was met, seeing compLexity and Ghost splitting their series 1-1. While Splyce were unable to capitalize in their series, Ghost came out on top by taking a win over compLexity and forcing their way out of relegation territory.

Meanwhile, SK saw themselves up 11-4 in their first half of Train against Renegades. The lead quickly slipped by the Brazilians (and Jake "Stewie2k" Yip) as Renegades found 10 rounds in a row, throwing SK's odds of making LAN Finals into jeopardy. A last minute push from SK forced the map into overtime, where Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo and co. came out on top to gain two points.

Four points were what SK needed to assure themselves a playoff spot, and Cache saw SK get off to a similarly dominant start by putting up a 12-3 first half. This time they were able to bring the map to a swift close by securing the final four rounds, clinching themselves a spot in Dallas.
