SK win ESEA Premier 19

SK Gaming have qualified for the next season of the ESL ESEA Pro League after topping the Premier division.

The top six teams from the regular season of ESEA Premier competed in a single-elimination bracket stage for the chance to take on the Europe's finest players in the next edition of the ESL ESEA Pro League.

LDLC White, who had finished the round-robin stage on a 15-1 record, advanced straight into the last-four stage but surprisingly forfeited their match against ROCCAT. The other semi-final clash saw SK Gaming overcome E-frag.net by a 2-0 scoreline.

The all-Nordic title decider began with ROCCAT taking the lead following a 19-17 triumph on de_dust2, but SK, who still fielded Jesper "⁠TENZKI⁠" Plougmann due to ESEA's roster lock rules, turned the series around after picking up 16-9 and 16-14 wins on de_mirage and de_train, respectively.
