EG are the D2L Western Challenge champions
Without dropping a single game in the playoffs, EG become the champions of the D2L Western Challenge and earn themselves $28,000 in the process. The highlight of the series was undoubtedly game two, which became an absolute nail biter as Oleksandr 'XBOCT' Dashkevych's Lycan reached critical mass and fought off EG several times almost single-handedly, but in the end Ludwig 'Zai' Wåhlberg's Sand King created more than enough space for the North Americans, who took back the momentum and claimed an exhausting game two.
By the time game three rolled around, each team traded blows intially, but with superb teamfights Na'Vi were eventually so far behind that Artour 'Arteezy' Babaev could simply play clean up with his signature Templar Assassin.
This marks the second time EG has defeated Na'Vi in a Bo3 in June, but one final encounter between them this month remains as they are pitted against each other in the opening round of ESL One.
