As a tier two ranked event, Akimbo's victory in San Antonio should give them a nice boost in the NA rankings. They'll look to improve further in the second ECL Season 50 NA Cup that begins in September, after getting knocked out of the first cup after a forfeit to LAG and a lower bracket loss to Take Flyte.
