ESL Impact League Season 7 Finals Groups announced
ESL have announced the group draw for the ESL Impact League Season 7 Finals, seeing the eight teams set to compete into the $123,000 tournament divided into two GSL groups. The event is set to run with the familiar "DreamHack Open" format which sees opening matches and winners' matches played as Bo1s while elimination and decider matches will be Bo3s.
Starting with Group A, Supernova Comets have been placed in a group alongside Russian squad DMS, the Brazilians of FURIA Female, and the French Prototype Blaze lineup, providing a difficult challenge for NA top's Impact squad.
However, Group B may prove to be even more difficult for FlyQuest RED, as it features both Imperial Valkyries and NIP Impact alongside MIBR Female. With Imperial Valkyries being a force of nature in ESL Impact and NIP Impact proving themselves a capable contender in recent months, FlyQuest RED will need to reach a new level should they want to escape Group B.
NA teams have been absent from the ESL Impact League Finals playoffs since Season 3, with this season likely to be as challenging as ever for the region to try and buck that trend.
The groups for the ESL Impact League Season 7 Finals are as follows:
Group A
• 
DMS
• 
FURIA Female
• 
Prototype Blaze
• 
Supernova Comets
Group B
• 
FlyQuest RED
• 
Imperial Valkyries
• MIBR Female
• NIP Impact
The schedule for day one is as follows:
Group A (Best of 1)
FURIA Female v. DMS 05:00PM SN Comets v. Prototype Blaze 06:00PM
Group B (Best of 1)
NIP Impact v. MIBR Female 07:00PM Imperial Valkyries v. FQ RED 08:00PM
