Virtus.pro hand OG first loss in ESL Pro League's European event

Virtus.pro came from behind to hand OG their first loss in Group C action Thursday in the ESL Pro League Season 11's European competition. After OG (3-1) opened with a 19-17 win on Dust II, Virtus.pro (1-3) secured the much-needed victory via a 16-10 decision on Overpass and a 16-13 result on Inferno.

Group C play concludes Friday with all six teams in action: mousesports vs. G2, Virtus.pro vs. TYLOO, and FaZe Clan vs. OG. The ESL Pro League Season 11 was due to be held in Malta, with 24 CS:GO teams set to compete for a $750,000 prize pool. However, 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 will earn $75,000 of a $531,000 prize pool. The North America winner will receive $75,000 of a $219,000 prize pool. ESL Pro League Season 11 European first-stage standings, through Thursday:
