oNe swiftly dispatch Whalers; secure berth to ESL Pro League Season 13
oNe took full advantage of their 1-0 default lead and promptly swept Whalers in the final series of the North American MDL season to become ESEA MDL Season 35 champions.
oNe entered this series with a 1-0 advantage as a result of their 2-0 victory against Whalers in the upper bracket final two weeks ago.
They continued right where they left off earlier this month as Matheus "prt" Scuvero led the South American side to a 2-0 series lead with 27 kills and a 2.02 rating. oNe racked up an 11-4 lead on their T-side and never looked back, allowing Whalers just two rounds in the second half while they closed out Dust2 on just their second match point. Brendan "Bwills" Williams led Whalers with 20 frags in the map loss.
oNe continued to harpoon the Whalers on their own map pick, this time jumping out to an insurmountable lead with their defense and tallying 10 rounds on their CT side. Whalers just didn't put up a fight with it all on the line. All five players from oNe were rated higher than the Whalers' highest rated player, Ramal "Rampage" Silva, with the highest rated Brazilian being Matheus "pesdelo" Panisset, who doubled nearly every Whaler on the statsheet with 28 kills.
