Gambit and NiP Eliminated from ESL Pro League 14
Gambit Esports and Ninjas in Pyjamas have been eliminated from ESL Pro League 14 following the first two quarterfinals. There they lost to Team Vitality (0-2) and OG (1-2) respectively.
This is yet another disappointing result for Gambit, who were one of the strongest teams during the “online-era” of events. However, currently the team performs much worse – earlier they also placed 5th – 6th at IEM XVI in Cologne, Germany, and now they finish 5th – 8th at EPL 14.
Today’s first quarterfinal, which is scheduled for 3:00 PM UK time, will feature Natus Vincere playing with ENCE – this will be their first match against each other in over a year. In the second quarterfinal, which will begin on 6:15 PM, Heroic will take on Liquid – again, a match-up that has not happened since late 2020.
Playoffs Bracket:
ESL Pro League Season 14 is a $750,000 online event that will conclude on September 12th with a best-of-five grand finale. The winner will claim $175,000 and one point towards Intel Grand Slam Season 3. Should NAVI win this event, they will also place first in the Grand Slam and receive additional $1,000,000.
