ESL-I: eDawgs upset ensidia to win week one

ImageThe week one favourites were beaten in the first weekly final of ESL's invite tournament by another RMP team.



With so much hype surrounding the new Ensidia team only first place would suffice for the Brits. They got things off to a flying start, 3-0ing Lemonparty's cleave. Hydra and co were given a better game in the upper bracket final as eDawgs pushed them all the way. But things seemed to be going to plan as the Ensidia boys made it into the grand final with a 3-2 win.

But eDawgs overcame Lemonparty in the lower bracket final and earned their chance for revenge. The team of Stg, Flyn and Raeli needed to win two best-of-three series' but came out of the traps flying. They took the first set but were forced to wait for the second set as Blizzard decided to restart all realms.

As anticipation and tension gave way to tedium and frustration, the realm finally came back online and the game got back underway. But eDawgs' momentum hadn't suffered while Ensidia's concentration seemed to have dropped. eDawgs took the game to the favourites and came out on top. They will now move on to the final in four weeks time while Ensidia will have to wait for MLG.
