EPL Season 7 Week 1 recap
The first week of Season 7 of ESL Pro League kicked off with strong starts for some of North America's underdogs as Splyce, Rogue, and Renegades racked up wins to start off on the right foot.
Renegades adapted quickly with the recent addition of Joakim "jkaem" Myrbostad to their roster, while Ghost has already begun to show signs of struggle after bringing in Yassine "Subroza" Taoufik and Tramaine "stan1ey" Stanley to round out their squad, as they went 0-4 this week.
Looking forward to week two of EPL, we have an array of heavy hitting match-ups to get hyped for. OpTic will be debuting their overhauled North American and Danish roster, EPL newcomers Dignitas will be continuing to try and find their footing in the big leagues, and the recent Major Champions Cloud9 will have a chance to run-it-back against Liquid after falling to them in the Grand Final at cs_summit 2.
