On the evening of September 4, Gambit guaranteed themselves a spot in the ESL Pro League playoffs by defeating Entropiq on the Dust2 and Vertigo maps. Thus, the team took the leading place in Group D without suffering a single defeat in the group stage. The matches between Gambit and Entropiq have gone in favor of the first team before: out of the seven maps they played in the past, Entropiq managed to win only one.
This time the first map of the match was Dust2. Although Entropiq managed to gain some economic advantage in the beginning, the pressure that Gambit exerted allowed the situation to level out. At one point the chances of the teams were almost equal and the score was 13 – 13, but Gambit still tilted the game in its favor (16 – 13). The second map was Vertigp – a good choice for Gambit as the team has consistently performed well on it. This time it was able to defeat Entropiq with a score of 16 – 10.
As a result, Entropiq's chances of getting into the playoffs became very shaky as a result. To date, it has only managed to win one of its four group matches. Therefore, to go further, she not only needs to beat TeamOne in the last game of the group tournament, but also hope that the results of the other teams will turn out favorably for her.
