Yesterday, we touched on the news that the ESL Pro League Season 23's Online Stage was set to conclude later that afternoon, and delving further into this matter, we can now report on the last three teams who qualified for the coming playoffs.
In total, three last games were being played yesterday, with Natus Vincere facing 3D Max, FUT Esports against G2 Esports, and Astralis versus Furia. This was a do-or-die slate of matches, where the loser is eliminated from the event for good and the victor advances to this weekend's playoffs.
To this end, Natus Vincere came out on top over 3D Max in a 2-1 fashion. This scoreline was then reflected in the other two games, where FUT Esports proved its potential against G2 Esports, and Astralis also made short work of Furia.
This means that G2 Esports, Furia, and 3D Max will now be focussing its efforts on the next Counter-Strike 2 tournament, while Natus Vincere, Astralis, and FUT Esports prepare for a busy weekend.
