The fifth week of Counter-Strike action from the Gfinity Elite Series is in the books, and it sure was a good one.

EnVyUs continued to show that they are head and shoulders above the rest of the competition with a 2-0 win over exceL. The UK team did put up a good fight, taking 13 rounds on Train, but that wasn't enough to stop the French team from confirming a spot in the playoffs at the end of the season. Will they ever loose a map in this competition?

Epsilon were looking to make it into second place this week, and a 2-0 win over Endpoint meant they could do it if other results went their way. The Epsilon team seem to be clicking a lot better than at the start of the season, eliminating many of the small mistakes. Their match against EnVy in week seven is sure to be a highlight.

The only all UK match up of the day saw Method take on bottom of the table Reason Gaming. Reason managed to pick up their second map win of the season, but could only walk away with a point as the score ended up 1-1. Unless something big happens in the last few weeks, neither of these teams will make the playoffs.

The final match saw UK side Infused take on Prophecy, who were in second place at the start of the day. Infused picked the first map, Mirage, and dominated Prophecy, picking up a 16-5 win. It was Prophecy who got off to a good start, but Infused dominated them after the early rounds to take a massive win.

The second map was Cobblestone and again Prophecy started out strong, going 4-0 up to get things going. After that Infused won a few rounds to almost even things out and then the trades started to come in thick and fast. No team could accumulate a sizable lead until Infused eventually took the win 16-13.

Infused's Aaron “fre1” Frei showed why he is the sixth highest ranked player of the competition, pulling off an unbelievable amount of big plays. It seemed like every other round he would pop up with at least two big frags.

This win now puts Infused up to fourth and crucially into the playoff spots. They have a fairly easy end to the season, so they could even overtake Prophecy in the standings if things go their way.

With the CS:GO done and dusted we now look forward to the Rocket League competition coming our way tomorrow. The Rocket League table is getting pretty close now, so this should be good.
