ECS Week 5 Recap - NRG surge to the top; MIBR on the hunt
With all teams finally participating in the ECS, four teams have wrapped up all of their matches, while three others have only a single double-header left to close out the league's sixth regular season.
Earning the first spot in the ECS Finals, NRG finished out the season on a six game winning streak to achieve a 13-5 record. While sitting within a playoff position, Renegades, Liquid and Cloud9 are still capable of being edged out of their placement by MIBR who sits at 9-5, Rogue at 7-7 and compLexity at 6-2, meaning coL still have ten more matches to play.
While the above will maintain their spots in the league regardless, eUnited managed a 6-10 record, keeping them alive for Season 7, but that means even if they close out their season with two wins, they will still be absent from the playoffs.
The Season 7 Challenger Cup qualifiers will have their winners duke it out against Luminosity and Spacestation as the two will be cast into relegation with their records of 3-15 and 2-14, respectively. Spacestation will be able to change their seeding with two wins, or enough rounds to beat Luminosity in the round differential with a single win, but the outcome will remain the same.
