FLUFFY AIMERS White conquer ESL Impact Cash Cup NA Summer #6
The second half of 2023 will be remembered for a long time for the FLUFFY AIMERS White players. A recently built team that managed to be competitive in just a couple of months, securing a spot in the ESL Impact League, and being just the fourth team to win an ESL Impact Cash Cup this year.
A calm journey through to the finals of the latest edition of the ESL Impact Cash Cup and an always-in-control grand final granted FA White first place and $750.
The competition only had seven teams participating, as two of the big rosters from the scene couldn't participate as some of their players were representing their respective countries in the IESF Female World Championship 2023.
This iteration of the ESL Impact Cash Cup was also the official debut of Hyperion, Carolyn "artStar" Noquez's new roster. Unfortunately for the team, after winning their first match 16-11 against BeepBeep, the team fell to FA White 2-0, as all members of the winning side were firing on all cylinders.
With that win, FA White would meet Totsugeki in the grand final. Totsugeki had a tougher road to the final series, having to beat Chocolate Milk, a mix team with some recognizable names from the scene, 16-13. After that, the team faced Loot Goblins and won 2-0, with the first map being 16-8 and the second map being a very close 16-14.
The grand final between FA White and Totsugeki started off in Ancient with a 16-7 win from FA White who would close the series on the next map. Despite being much closer, the match ended 16-13, FA White was only twice behind and that happened in the first half. Totsugeki managed to tie the game at 13-13, but FA White didn't give them any more chances after that.
