XigN is most pleased they're going to Chicago.

MVP PK qualify for IEM Chicago over Flash

The Koreans return to America for the first time since EPL Season 7 Finals.

After being sent to the lower bracket due to a forfeit, MVP PK picked themselves up to defeat Flash 3-1 in the finals to solidify themselves a spot in IEM Chicago.

Coming from the lower bracket meant that MVP PK had to play a map down, giving Flash an immediate 1-0 lead in the Bo5. Unfortunately for Flash, MVP didn't care.

Map two on Inferno was the Hyun-Pyo "XigN" Lee show leading the team with a 1.87 HLTV rating. MVP would go on to win the map 16-6, moving onto Flash's map pick Cache. This time it was Seon-Ho "minixeta" Son's turn to hog the spotlight. 28 frags in 23 rounds was enough to clean up Flash and put MVP in the series lead.

Map three Mirage was the closest affair to the two teams exchanged, with MVP PK walking away with a 16-13 victory to close the series 3-1.

Wow, essentially a 3-0. I was kind of worried after MVP lost in the SLi qualifier, but seems like they bounced back.

I hope they do well, they are pretty fun to watch! I still remember watching some WeMade FOX videos before, too.
