ईएसएल चैलेंजर रॉटरडैम ने प्लेऑफ में प्रवेश किया क्योंकि अनन्त आग शुरुआती हार से उबर गई

अनन्त अग्नि side have recently been a target of criticism following the controversial decision to dispose of the services of व्यापक "⁠MAJ3R⁠" बाली after their inability to qualify for IEM Rio Major, bringing back यासीन "⁠xfl0ud⁠" मेष राशि from the bench and making Ömer "⁠ImoRR⁠" Karatas their new in-game leader.

Playing for the first time with their new lineup in Rotterdam, the team came under pressure early following a loss to Movistar राइडर्स in the opening round of Group A. Heading into day two, the Turkish squad were staring down elimination and had to win two consecutive series to make it to playoffs.

Facing off against a big underdog in निक्सुह, इस्माइलकैन "⁠XANTARES⁠" डॉर्टकार्डे & co. had to sweat to close out the opening Inferno map in overtime before slamming the South African side in a landslide Vertigo victory, earning a rematch against Movistar राइडर्स in the decider.

Facing off against the Spaniards just a few hours later, the returnee xfl0ud starred as अनन्त अग्नि recovered from a slow start to Vertigo, and the new captain, आईएमओआरआर, led the way to a convincing closing on Inferno to earn their spot in the playoffs.

इस बीच, आउटसाइडर्स पराजित बहे in a rematch from the opening round of Group B to lock in second place, once again surviving an overtime affair on Dust2 against the Brazilian side around João "फेल्प्स" वास्कोनसेलोस and clinching the series on Inferno without much trouble.

ESL Challenger Rotterdam now heads into its final day. In the semi-finals, a precursor to the IEM Rio Major Challengers Stage awaits between मौज़ू और आउटसाइडर्स, and on the other side of the bracket अनन्त अग्नि will face off against their toughest opponent yet in खिलाडि़यों:
