PDHM, Levitate complete ESEA Premier Season 37 team list

The two teams secured the final spots in the league through Relegation.

The final two teams competing in ESEA Premier Season 37 have been determined following the conclusion of Relegation, with Levitate retaining their spot in the league and PDHM earning promotion from Advanced.

PDHM, who were playing their final match with Alexander "knightmare" Sozzi and Malick "dangle" Abid, exacted a clean victory over Veloz to book their ticket to Premier next season, taking down the fourth place Advanced-side in a 2-0 series. Brian "Brian2K" Ladron De Guevara led the way for his team on Nuke with a 27-12 K-D, combined with a solid showing from dangle on the CT-side for a 16-7 victory.

Dust2 was a closer affair as Veloz managed to edge out an 8-7 lead at the break; however, PDHM took control in the second half, conceding a small string of four rounds to Veloz before eleventh hour performances from knightmare and dangle helped them take the series over the line.

The second match between ImPerium and Levitate saw a battle between Premier sides fighting to see which would retain their spot in the league for Season 37, and which would find themselves relgated down to Advanced.

ImPerium, who picked Mirage to kick off the series, were left looking out of sorts as they had a dismal T-side showing, mustering just four rounds by the break as Andrew "Ghostii" Kehler and David "Delta9" Shafer led Levitate in a dominant opening half. However, the pair fell off following the side swap, and it seemed as if ImPerium would succeed in a comeback effort until Levitate finally closed things out, edging out a 16-13 map win.

A similar scenario unfolded on Dust2 as Levitate looked lacklustre, with ImPerium posting a 10-5 lead at halftime. Much like on Mirage, the tides turned in the second half as Levitate found their footing, but again the rally was stopped short of the mark as ImPerium emerged the victors on round 30.

As Overpass unfolded, it seemed that ImPerium would make good on their narrow win  on Dust2 that kept them in the series as they put up a solid T-side effort, holding Levitate to just six rounds in the first half to nine of their own. Yet again though, onces the sides  swapped, it was Levitate who quickly took the reins, with Nicholas "hate" Young and Delta9 combining in an even better offensive showing as they helped their team dominate, conceding just one round en route to a 16-10 map win.
