Envy and New Identity breeze into second ESL One New York qualifier top four
Day one of the second ESL One New York qualifier has come to end, with four teams remaining out of the paltry 35 that entered.
Round one of the qualifier ended without much action, as the four teams in the semifinals received bye's while only three best of ones were played. After this, round two ended as expected as Envy picked up a 16-5 victory over dragon, absolute mad lads beat Hyper 16-3, New Identity pulled off a 16-0 over Forums Gods, and oNe breezed past Bandit Brigade 16-4.
The final two rounds of the day continued to be a cake walk for the top four with none of the teams conceding double digits, with the exception of absolute mad lads who bested Amethyst and Asuna's Anime Aimers 16-13 and 16-10.
Play is set to continue tomorrow with Envy set to face off against absolute mad lads while New Identity will be playing oNe. The winners of each match will advance to the ESL One New York Closed Qualifier, where they will join Lazarus and eUnited and the yet to be revealed invited teams.
