After weeks of big LAN events and some pretty big one off online tournaments we finally have a week where there is almost nothing going on. There is no big LAN, there is no major online one off and with the ESL Pro League group stage done and dusted all that leaves us with is ECS, which has somewhat been flying under the radar for a while.
In Europe we have some familiar faces at the top of the standings with G2, Mouz and Astralis at the top, although surprisingly NiP is sitting just behind them in fourth. GODSENT and Dignitas sit in the relegation places, but once again VP isn’t far ahead of them.
In the NA division things are a little more surprising. Cloud9 sit at the top of the table with CLG, OpTic and Liquid just behind them. Liquid actually has the chance to go top when they play their games in hand, as they are one of only two teams in the league to only lose one map, the other is Renegades who have only played four games. Ghost Gaming have been very disappointing and have lost all 10 games, putting them in last place, with Luminosity just ahead of them with three wins.
This week we have some pretty hype matches, and some that will have big impacts on the final standings. We are now past the halfway point, so every win really does become very important and one mistake could cost you a shot at the LAN. So let’s get down to it and look at the matches taking place this week.
