IEM Katowice 2022 Finalist Nikola “NiKo” Kovač and his teammates did not make it to the ESL Pro League Season 15 Playoffs, failing to seize opportunities throughout the series with by MOUZ, Fnatic and Entropiq.
Entropiq has advanced to the ESL Pro League Season 15 playoffs after winning a hard-fought series against G2, returning from 7-14 and 8-13 scorelines on Dust2 and Nuke to narrowly defeat the international team 2-1.
G2, who were hoping to rebound from a poor series against Fnatic on Friday with the return of in-game leader Aleksi “Aleksib” Virolainen, are particularly disappointed. They were already on the verge of elimination going into the match against Entropiq, and while a win wouldn’t have secured them a playoff position, it was very necessary if they were to stay in contention.

Entropiq’s victory ensures a playoff berth for both them and Fnatic, with the two clubs scheduled to square off on Sunday at 21:30 CEST to determine who will be the second seed out of Group A. MOUZ, G2, and Looking For Org are all out of contention coming into the last day of play, but NIP is unbeaten and has head-to-head wins against both Entropiq and Fnatic.
