Flash have booked their spot at the ESL Pro League Season 7 Asia-Pacific Finals after defeating Eclipse 2-0 in the Lower Bracket final of the Chinese closed qualifier.

The final series of the qualifier kicked off on Cobblestone, Flash's map pick, with YuanZhang "⁠Attacker⁠" Sheng and co. securing their Terrorist pistol and following that up with the anti-ecos. Although Enkhtaivan "⁠Machinegun⁠" Lkhagva's new squad responded with a successful gun round, Flash kept pressing on and further extended their lead to 5-1.

That was when Eclipse tightened up their defence to win five of the following six rounds, but Flash strung the final three of the half to switch sides with a 9-6 lead. Still, Eclipse came from the break with all guns blazing, winning six rounds in a row to take control of the match. However, Flash would not back down, and, after putting up a strong defence, closed out the map with a 16-13 scoreline.

Next up was Mirage, Eclipse's map pick, and it began with Flash countering their opponents' T-side pistol round win. After that, YuLun "⁠Summer⁠" Cai's men remained in control throughout the half, losing only three more rounds to grab an 11-4 lead.

Just like on Cobblestone, Eclipse started the second half with a six-round winning streak, bringing the deficit to a sole round. But once again, Flash did not let their opponents complete the comeback and locked down the map, 16-11, to secure their place at the ESL Pro League Season 7 Asia-Pacific Finals.
