Klim Sani4 Steal ESL One Birmingham Slot From Virtus.Pro
Klim Sani4, a heavy underdog, upset Virtus.Pro in the Lower Bracket of the EEU Qualifier to receive the final qualification slot for ESL One Birmingham 2024.
Yesterday, Team Spirit claimed the first slot by defeating Virtus.Pro in the Upper Bracket Final.
The series between Klim Sani4 and Virtus.Pro was incredibly intense. The first map was in control of Virtus.Pro, but a few misplays from Kiritych’s Faceless Void opened the doors for a comeback from the Klim Sani4 side to put the underdogs 1-0 up in the series.
Map 2 was very even in net worth, but the more experienced roster could convert the win to tie the series 1-1.
The decisive map started back-and-forth, and both teams were dead even in net worth by the 38-minute mark. Though the game was tight, there weren’t that many kills from both sides. Eventually, Klim Sani4 took the driver’s seat and won the series 2-1.
Coming into this qualification series, Virtus.Pro were 5:1 favorites, but Klim Sani4 pulled off a miracle and will attend their first S-Tier LAN since the formation of the roster. This will be the first “Major” tournament for the majority of the team. With this victory, there is a really good chance that this stack will get picked up by an esports organization.
