On April 12, the final match of ESL Pro League Season 11. The victory in it went to the team fnatic. In a confrontation on five maps, they beat mousesports with a score of 3:2. The Danish team Astralis took third place. Thanks to this victory, fnatic returned to the top 3 of the HLTV rating. Natus Vincere, despite the not very successful performance, continue to remain at the top by a large margin – they have 876 points, while their closest competitors Astralis – 804. Fnatic are now in third position in the ranking with 796 points.
The tournament showed that the online format, introduced as a forced measure due to restrictions related to the spread of coronavirus, is fully justified, and the competition still remains spectacular and interesting for the audience. At the same time, not all players were able to adapt to the new format equally. Some of them noted that online it is more difficult for them to act in a coordinated manner and demonstrate a good level of play.
Teams from the CIS performed quite well and showed their competitiveness in the game against top European teams. However, their problem remains the instability of the results. This also applies to NAVI, which failed to repeat the success recently achieved in Poland.
The next tournament from ESL will start soon. 22 April 22 starts ESL One: Road to Rio.
