4 Anchors wins the Esportal Invitational 4

The Finnish roster 4 Anchors have qualified for the Esportal finals after succeeding on their fourth attempt of qualification to take down the new Power Rangers roster and claim the $3500 prize.

It's been a long journey for 4 Anchors + Sea Captain to finally secure qualification to the Esportal LAN finals in Sweden. First appearing in the second and third Invitational qualifiers, the Finnish team fell in the opening round both times. A narrow grand final loss in the recent Open Qualifier 3 to 4Clovers + Lepricon may have inspired them to victory as they only dropped two games overall through their Invitational 4 success.

4 Anchors took down steep GosuBet favourites Burden United in straight sets to ease into the second round and despite being pushed into a third game against Vega Squadron, the Finnish team pulled out a hard fought victory over their Russian opponents after an hour long battle.

Their grand final opponents Power Rangers had a tough time getting past their opponents, dropping a game against each team but earning an important final game victory over both late replacements Game Online and StarLadder XII attendees London Conspiracy. This marked the third consecutive grand final appearance for Power Rangers after losing 3-2 to ASUS.Polar in the Invitational 2 and losing 3-2 to Ninjas in Pyjamas in the Invitational 3. Things were looking hopeful for the team after they secured a game against 4 Anchors in the final but Power Rangers were unable to claim their place in the finals after 4 Anchors swept them aside in two 28 minute victories to claim their place in the final.

Only one qualifier remains to find the eighth and final team for the Esportal LAN finals. There is currently no announcement to reveal the format of the qualifier but the finals are looking stacked with some of the top European and CIS teams ready to compete in Stockholm.

Qualified teams:
Russia HellRaisers
Russia Team Empire
Serbia mYinsanity
Russia Virtus Pro
Sweden Ninjas in Pyjamas
Europe 4Clover + Lepricon
Finland 4 Anchors + Sea Captain
Other TBA
