Entropiq will play with Into the Breach in the first round of the ESL Challenger League Season 40 Europe group stage. Will the Russians be able to extend the winning streak?
Entropiq
The Russians started the season with a 0-2 defeat against AGF in the first round of the Elisa Invitational Winter 2021 Main Qualifier group stage, and then won the first victory of the year, closing ECSTATIC on two maps. It happened as part of the Funspark ULTI 2021 Finals tournament, which managed to reach the grand final. In it, the guys from Entropiq will face Gambit Esports. The teams have already met, in the second round, and then the Gambits won 2-1.
Into the Breach
The British team Into the Breach at the end of last year consistently finished the tournaments in the top three, and also took second places, and 2022 interrupted a relatively positive series. It happened because of the Malta Vibes Knockout Series 5 tournament, where the British started with a 2-1 victory over EC Brugge, and then lost to the Nexus team in the second round (0-2), finishing in 17-24 places.
Forecast
Entropiq is close to winning the first tournament, and even if it loses in the final, it should still be happy with the result, because it's only the beginning of the season. In any case, at ESL Challenger League Season 40 Europe, the Russians will only fight for the first place, so it is important to start the tournament with a victory. Given the level of the opponent, it will not be difficult to do this.
