Stay Frosty claim third ESEA Proving Grounds seed after eUlarity forfeit finals
The second ESEA Proving Grounds open qualifier has concluded, with a new-look Stay Frosty securing the third overall seed after securing a forfeit win over eUlarity, a mix-team consisting of Singularity, eUnited, and Party Astronauts players.
Like the previous qualifier, the majority of the first four rounds of the qualifier concluded without any notable upsets as the few Advanced and MDL teams participating proceeded without much trouble. One notable matchup saw Stay Frosty, who enlisted the help of Josiah "JoJo" Jimenez and Aleksandar "ALEKSANDAR" Hinojosa, beat Bushido Boyz 16-13 on Overpass.
Another notable upset came in the quarterfinals as Final Feature managed to take down Rugratz 16-12 on Dust2. Meanwhile, eUlarity crushed Legacy 16-6, Imperial bested Eric "Kwong" Kwong's Dust2 (no affiliation with this publication) 16-13, and Stay Frosty beat out Bath Water Bandits 16-6.
In the semi-finals, eUlarity battered Final Feature without much fanfare to take Overpass 16-4, while on the other side of the bracket Stay Frosty managed to claim a 19-15 overtime win against Imperial, also on Overpass.
Unfortunately, the finals never occurred as eUlarity elected to forfeit the match against Stay Frosty, with the underdog squad securing the third seed for the Proving Grounds.
As a result, the team list for ESEA's Proving Grounds now looks as follows:
