ESL Impact Season 4 NA Qualification and Relegation scenarios

This season was expected to be the most competitive since the creation of the circuit, but those expectations have been surpassed. Although FlyQuest RED have been comfortably leading the league since day one, the rest of the pack has been pretty much glued together.

Going into the last day of the regional division, there are three teams fighting for the last spot in the LAN Final, and three teams fighting for the direct invite for Season 5 of ESL Impact North America.

Qualification scenarios

• EG Gold go to Valencia if they win against Shimmer and Tsunami Sirens lose against Hyperion.

• Shimmer go to Valencia if they win against EG Gold.

• Tsunami Sirens go to Valencia if they win against Hyperion and Shimmer lose against EG Gold.

Given the recent records, I would say Tsunami Sirens will be the ones flying out to Spain after today. EG Gold have been looking good and Shimmer have been through a rough patch and recently lost their IGL. Tsunami Sirens are the clear favorites, as Hyperion are yet to win a single map this season. With these observations, the third scenario would happen.

Relegation scenarios

• Karma will be relegated if they lose today against Totsugeki and if Shimmer win against EG Gold.

• Shimmer will relegated if, in case of a loss against EG Gold, Tsunami Sirens win against Hyperion and Karma win against Totsugeki.

• Tsunami Sirens will be relegated if, in case of a loss against Hyperion, Shimmer win against EG Gold and Karma win against Totsugeki.

Again, most of these scenarios depend on Shimmer winning against EG Gold, something that is definitely possible, but I would say unlikely to happen at this point. It is not looking good for the team that went to Dallas as the second-best team in North America, but if someone can turn things around is this Shimmer lineup, don't count them out just yet.

Today is the last day of ESL Impact Season 4 North America, as all teams will be entering the servers at 08:30PM.
