yeL helped power Luminosity to a berth in the EPICENTER Americas Closed Qualifier

Luminosity win first EPICENTER Americas Qualifier

The Brazilians took down NRG and fREAKAZOiD's Swole Patrol mix en route to victory.

After the first day of play was over, the field was narrowed down to eight teams, most notably featuring NRG, Luminosity, Tempo Storm SE, and Swole Patrol. Due to the seeding of the bracket, the two Pro League sides wound up meeting in the semi-finals. Damian "daps" Steele's men were able take Train on the back of a strong performance from Vincent "Brehze" Cayonte, but the Brazilians came roaring back with a close win on Cobblestone and a 16-1 drubbing on Cache, in which Gustavo "yeL" Knittel died only thrice.
