EPL Season 7 Week 3: vSa brings Ghost back to life?
Things have started to get interesting in this third week of ESL Pro League as the majority of teams have shifted positions in the rankings significantly. The new gatekeepers of the number one position in the standings is Liquid after continuing their flawless run thus far in the league with an 8-0 record.
While still squeeky clean themselves, NRG's bump down was partly due to them not having any scheduled matches this week, allowing them to hold onto a top three position a bit longer.
Ghost was finally able to put some points on the board this week after overcoming Splyce in both of their matches, as well as one game over OpTiC in their series.
Dignitas wasn't as fortunate in their efforts to get out of their zero win hell. They now sit in last place with an 0-6 record after falling to Liquid in 2-0. The MDL Season 26 Champions are currently on the lookout for a new fifth after dropping Jack "xCeeD" Holiman.
Looking forward to week four, we can expect significant changes to the standings again as Cloud9 and SK will finally have some downtime to focus on league play after their lengthy travels. Both teams currently sit towards the bottom of the standings and were upset this past week at the WESG World Finals, SK in their first set of groupstage matches and Cloud9 in the quarterfinals to oNe.
