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.&#xD;<br \/>\nShortly 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 &#8211; two teams one would expect to qualify for the playoffs &#8211; 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.&#xD;<br \/>\n<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"fileadmin\/user_upload\/EPL_eu_standings.png\" width=\"941\" height=\"865\" data-htmlarea-file-uid=\"23327\" data-htmlarea-file-table=\"sys_file\" alt=\"\" style=\"\" \/>&#xD;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Remaining matches<\/h3>\n<p>&#xD;<br \/>\n<b>Team EnVy.US<\/b>&#xD;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Team LDLC<\/li>\n<li>Ninjas in Pyjamas<\/li>\n<li>Astralis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#xD;<br \/>\n<b>Ninjas in Pyjamas<\/b>&#xD;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Team EnVy.US<\/li>\n<li>HellRaisers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#xD;<br \/>\n<b>Heroic<\/b>&#xD;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Team Kinguin<\/li>\n<li>Natus Vincere<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#xD;<br \/>\n<b>HellRaisers<\/b>&#xD;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>FaZe Clan<\/li>\n<li>Ninjas in Pyjamas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#xD;<br \/>\n<b>Team LDLC<\/b>&#xD;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Team EnVy.US<\/li>\n<li>Team Kinguin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#xD;<br \/>\n<b>Virtus.pro<\/b>&#xD;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>North<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#xD;<br \/>\n<b>Team Kinguin<\/b>&#xD;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fnatic<\/li>\n<li>Heroic<\/li>\n<li>Team LDLC<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#xD;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Who&#8217;s going to make it?<\/h3>\n<p>&#xD;<br \/>\nAll of the matches will be streamed live on our <link http:\/\/gaming.youtube.com\/eslcs>YouTube channel<\/link> so be sure not to miss any of them and see who will manage to remain in the ESL Pro League!
