ESL Pro League Season 13 groups: final standings
The action started with Group A, and right from the start it was clear Heroic would be the team to beat. Despite a valiant effort from BIG on the second day of match play, Heroic would go undefeated and earn a play-in match against NiP.
Group B was a bit more of a toss up, with eventual first-place finishers Ninjas in Pyjamas losing on the first day to G2. NiP wouldn’t drop another match though, and will face Heroic during the play-ins.
Over in Group C it was all Gambit, who managed to go undefeated despite close matches against MiBR, Na’Vi, and FURIA. The latter of these two teams will join Gambit in the Playoffs, so it will be interesting to watch if they can extract some revenge for these early setbacks.
