The European division of the ESL Pro League has seen the arguably most intense season of its history so far. It was only until the second to last play week that the first team managed to qualify for the season finals. Whilst there is an incredible fight for the remaining playoffs spots, it gets even more interesting in the relegation area.
Shortly before the last play day of week 9 there are 7 teams fighting for survival in the ESL Pro League with six of them all tied at 9 wins. The final week promises to be an incredibly exciting showdown. Virtus.pro and Ninjas in Pyjamas - two teams one would expect to qualify for the playoffs - have struggled in their recent Pro League matches and will need to put in an immense effort to keep their Pro League spot. The real showdown might happen between Team Kinguin and Team LDLC, however. This match at the final play day could decide which team is auto-relegated and which team will have the chance to defend their spot against BIG Clan and PENTA in relegation.
