A late surge from tarik and MIBR would see them through to LAN

ECS Week 5 Recap - NRG surge to the top; MIBR on the hunt

Renegades, Liquid and Cloud9 are in position to make LAN, but MIBR are hot on their heels.

With all teams finally participating in the ECS, four teams have wrapped up all of their matches, while three others have only a single double-header left to close out the league's sixth regular season.

Earning the first spot in the ECS Finals, NRG finished out the season on a six game winning streak to achieve a 13-5 record. While sitting within a playoff position, Renegades, Liquid and Cloud9 are still capable of being edged out of their placement by MIBR who sits at 9-5, Rogue at 7-7 and compLexity at 6-2, meaning coL still have ten more matches to play.

While the above will maintain their spots in the league regardless, eUnited managed a 6-10 record, keeping them alive for Season 7, but that means even if they close out their season with two wins, they will still be absent from the playoffs. 

The Season 7 Challenger Cup qualifiers will have their winners duke it out against Luminosity and Spacestation as the two will be cast into relegation with their records of 3-15 and 2-14, respectively. Spacestation will be able to change their seeding with two wins, or enough rounds to beat Luminosity in the round differential with a single win, but the outcome will remain the same.

The final games of the season to watch out for include:

Matchup Date Time
compLexity vs. Brazil MIBR November 7th 5:00 PM EDT
United States Rogue vs.  compLexity November 7th 7:00 PM EDT
Brazil MIBR vs. United States Rogue November 8th 7:00 PM EDT
