FLUFFY AIMERS and Kinship top NA Revival Series #3 Qualifier

Last night, the open qualifier for the third NA Revival Series played out, with 89 teams in attendance. When the smoke cleared, FLUFFY AIMERS fielding Qihao "C4LLM3SU3" Su in place of Edgar "MarKE" Maldonado and a Kinship mixteam helmed by Danny "cxzi" Strzelczyk topped the qualifier, earning spots among the six ESL Challenger League teams in contesting the main $5,000 event. The two squads pushed past a number of notable teams in the qualifier including LAG, MIGHT, InControl, and Limitless.

In the first three rounds of the qualifier the only notable squad to face elimination was embattled ECL squad Limitless, who were knocked out by Illya "supa" Filanchuk's LVNM mixteam 13-4 on Dust2. In the next round of play, LVNM were themselves knocked out by LAG 13-6 on Mirage while Vova "bezymecc" Slobodian's all-Ukrainian Immigrants Peek were felled by Kinship 13-9 on Dust2.

Round five of the qualifier saw the most surprising result of the night as Max "SolGoat" Wallace's Aether absolutely demolished LAG 13-2 on Dust2, sending the favorites from that side of the bracket out of the qualifier. In this round, FLUFFY AIMERS also claimed a 13-3 win over VitaPLUR, Kinship bested Saad "Pluto" Siraj's mixteam 13-11 on Mirage, and InControl gave a walkover win to MIGHT due to a scheduling conflict with CCT Season 2 NA Series 3.

With four teams left standing, the qualification matches both turned out to be heavily one-sided as FLUFFY AIMERS demolished MIGHT 13-5 on Mirage while Kinship took down Aether 13-2 on Anubis to earn their spots in the main event.
