Leaders maintain their invincibility | ESL Impact League S8 Week 4 Roundup

Week 5 is going to be fire.

The fourth week of ESL Impact League Season 8 North America saw the leading trio of Nocturnal, Shimmer, and FlyQuest RED maintain their invincibility, so this means that the NA representatives in the Finals will likely be two of them.

Unfortunately, it was a bad week for women's CS as days after the matches were played, ESL announced that it would shut down the Impact circuit following the S8 Finals in November.

United States Shimmer 2-0 Little Bocks

There's not much to say about this series other than Shimmer absolutely hammered Little Bocks. They only lost four rounds across the two maps played, and Lucy "empathy" Verkaik once again led by example, having finished with 40 kills and a monstrous 145.2 ADR.

United States Nocturnal 2-1 Lotus United States

Lotus will be beating themselves for their disasterclass on Ancient's CT-side. They were 9-3 ahead, but couldn't find a solution to fix their defense and take the map.

Lotus tied the series on Nuke, but Nocturnal dominated Overpass to run away with the series. Had Lotus not lost on Ancient, they could have broken Nocturnal's winstreak, and gotten closer to Shimmer and FlyQuest RED.
