G2, mouz post victories in ESL Pro League Euro event
G2 and mousesports posted victories Saturday in Group C action in the ESL Pro League Season 11's European competition. Both won by identical 2-1 margins, though mouz had to come-from-behind to defeat FaZe. Mouz dropped Nuke 16-9 but rallied to win 16-14 on Train and 16-12 on Dust II.
G2 defeated TYLOO with a 16-7 win on Inferno and a 16-3 win on Vertigo, sandwiched by a 16-14 loss on Dust II. The ESL Pro League Season 11 was due to be held in Malta, with 24 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive teams set to compete for a $750,000 prize pool. But it was moved online due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In addition, the field was split into a European event with 18 total teams and a separate North American event with six teams. In the European event, the top team from each group advances to the six-team second stage, and the second- and third-place finishers in each group will square off for places in the second stage.
The European champion earns $75,000 of a $531,000 prize pool. The North American winner will receive $75,000 of a $219,000 prize pool. ESL Pro League Season 11 European first-stage standings, through Saturday:
