MALCO & MAKONGA qualify to BESL Pro Season 3

The first BESL Pro Season 3 CS:GO qualifier has concluded with two teams acquiring themselves a spot in this season’s competition.

Latvian team MALCO and Lithuanian squad MAKONGA both earned themselves a spot in the newest iteration of our league by battling it through the 16 team Single Elimination Bo3 bracket and what a battle it was!

MALCO started off their day with a very one-sided 2:0 (16:2, 16:1) victory against their countrymen of DIVISON (rabbit, Plaukainais, Hape, I$AIAH, Nervix). After that, they continued their run with another very similar 2:0 (16:4, 16:6) against another Latvian squad - Falcon Esports (mairel, outrage, SHIFT, dan, TALANTS). And finally, their last game saw them crushing another Latvian team’s dreams with another 2:0 (16:6, 16:14) this time around against Team Titan (nopper, discplex, Shield, endicate, reN).

Meanwhile, MAKONGA began their journey in the qualifier with taking out Latvians of KAROSTA (l2stChance, nineglock, vol9, h1ssen, olovo) with a 2:0 (16:6, 16:10) scoreline. Then they proceeded through the bracket with a surprising easy victory over MOCKIT (laiNny, krii, raw, Fearoth, PetitSkel) with another 2:0 (16:7, 16:8). And finally, they earned their spot in the league with a 2:0 (16:9, 16:11) victory against Lithuanian team Timechasers.

An interesting fact to note here is that both teams cruised through the qualifier without dropping a single map.
