Eternal Fire Shocks Vitality at ESL Pro League Season 20

As a veteran gamer with decades of Counter-Strike experience under my belt, I must say the ESL Pro League Season 20 LAN event has been nothing short of thrilling. The upset of Complexity over FaZe Clan was a shocker, but the Liquid versus Complexity match was a nail-biter that had me on the edge of my seat. The records broken in that game were just icing on the cake!


The CS2 esports enthusiasts have been thrilled by the Live Area Network (LAN) tournament for ESL Pro League Season 20 in Malta, where unexpected victories like Complexity outplaying FaZe Clan and then Liquid overpowering Complexity occurred, shattering records such as the longest map and the highest number of kills during regular play.

In the ESL Pro League Season 20 Quarterfinals, Eternal Fire was not far behind Vitality as the preferred team. However, on their map selection, Anubis, the teams were evenly matched, and overtime was needed to decide the winner, with Eternal Fire taking the lead and winning 16-14. In response, Vitality dominated Nuke, scoring an impressive 13-5, with seven rounds on the attacking side and then six consecutive rounds on the defensive side to secure the victory.

On the final, decisive match (Inferno), both teams were evenly matched, leading to a draw at the end of regular play. This necessitated overtime to determine a winner. In these additional periods, Eternal Fire demonstrated resilience and, after three overtimes, they emerged victorious. Their triumph eliminated top-ranked team Vitality from ESL Pro League Season 20.

Despite Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut’s impressive performance with 85 kills and a rating of 1.40, Eternal Fire still surprised fans by defeating Vitality in the series.

In the Eternal Fire tournament, Ismailcan “XANTARES” Dörtkardeş and Özgür “woxic” Eker took the top spots on the leaderboard. Meanwhile, Engin “MAJ3R” Küpeli demonstrated impressive tactical prowess, ultimately ensuring their strategic triumph.
