Subroza joined the Ghost roster on their way to the quarterfinals

Third ECS Season 7 Challenger Cup qualifier sees Ghost debut without steel

A number of familiar names advance to the quarterfinals in the third qualifier.

The third ECS Season 7 Challenger Cup qualifier has begun, with eight teams reaching the quarterfinal stage of the tournament bracket. Of these names, the most notable is Ghost, who debuted with Yassine "Subroza" Taoufik in place of Joshua "steel" Nissan in the lineup amid rumors that the in-game leader may be on his way out of the team.

This qualifier did just one team better than the previous with a total of 69 rosters signing up to play, including qualifier 2 participants The Quest, Hysteria, and Farmers. The first two teams were able to make their way to the quarterfinals, but Farmers were halted by PolarAce in the Round of 32 and eliminated from the running.

Hysteria picked up the most notable upset of the bracket thus far, eliminating Infamous 16-14 on Inferno in the Round of 16 to secure their spot in the top eight, while Ghost narrowly survived a 16-14 scare of their own against Mario. The qualifier also saw the return of Tom "tconnors" Connors, who joined up alongside Jimmy "Nurfed" McFadden on Big Frames to earn their own quarterfinals berth.

The best-of-three quarterfinal games have now been determined, and look as follows:

United States Ghost -vs- United States iNTACT
United States Kobruh -vs- United States Big Frames
United States The Quest -vs- World JAGUAR
United States Hysteria -vs- United States Orion

These matches are all scheduled to take place tomorrow at 2 PM EST, with the semifinals kicking off shortly afterwards around 5 PM EST. The teams who win at the semifinal stage will join MASSIVEimpact, Zone, Mythic, and Party Astronauts in the Challenger Cup. As always, the dates and signup links for upcoming qualifiers can be found on the Dust2.us Calendar

I know that Ghost still has potential with Freak + Koosta + Wardell and a young gun in Neptune, but dang...

It sucks to see Steel leave this team. Not as much of a fan of Ghost anymore.

Dear rustyjame5,

That doesn't mean that this roster didn't debut without steel in this qualifier. You're not saying anything new, and that was covered in the original story.

Cheers.
