ESC takes qualifier #4 defeating team Dignitas and becoming the 8th team slated to compete in the Enter the Storm cup #2 finals.
After a long weekend of qualifiers, ESC Gaming and Dignitas were faced with another opportunity to qualify for the Enter the Storm Cup #2 Finals. Both teams have been in this situation before, and although there are still many opportunities left to qualify for the main event, weekend after weekend of qualifier tournaments can start to take their tole on even the most seasoned of teams.
As the matches started, both teams seemed eventually matched. However, back to back Chen picks proved invaluable for ESC. The equilibrium of these otherwise close games was shattered by Chen's ability to disrupt the squishy assassins that Digitals seems to favor, allowing the Giant Killer SGT. Hammer of ESC to safely wreck havoc. In the end, a fortunately timed curse against Dignitas on Cursed Hallow after a losing team fight decided the game. ESC wins 2-0.
