Having won 12 of their 18 matches in the season, Renegades have garned 48 points to sit just below Ghost and MIBR on the leaderboard. Their remaining two matchups will see the Australians face off against NRG and the last place Envy roster, giving them a good chance to add further wins to their tally.

2-0 wins over the league's middle and lower tier teams allowed for Renegades to work their way up the board, and split series with Cloud9 and Liquid gave them room to make additional headway. Despite losing out to Ghost in both matchups, 2 extra points from overtime losses pushed them just over the brink for qualification.

Aaron "AZR" Ward also picked up in-game leader duties after Noah "Nifty" Francis' departure to Envy, who have had a considerably worse EPL season.
