Epsilon defeat Nemiga to qualify for Charleroi Esports

Epsilon join Sprout as the second team to progress through the European open qualifiers to claim a spot at Charleroi Esports following a 2-0 victory over Nemiga in the grand final.

The international squad progressed to the grand final after beating AVEZ 2-0 in the semi-final, with Nils "⁠k1to⁠" Gruhne notably putting up an incredible 1.90 rating across the series. Joining Epsilon in the grand final was Nemiga, who took down Polish side Izako Boars 2-1 in the other semi-final.

A dominant first map on Inferno from Epsilon saw the international lineup recover from a 5-1 deficit to win 15 rounds consecutively and secure a 16-5 scoreline. Nemiga stepped up their game going into Cache, winning their CT side 8-7. An Igor "⁠lollipop21k⁠" Solodkov 4k in the second half pistol proved futile as Epsilon went on to put up another great streak of nine rounds, closing out the map at 16-11.
