Astralis win spot at ESL One New York

Astralis beat both dignitas and EnVyUs to make their way to ESL One New York.

The first six spots at ESL One New York, the $250,000 event taking place at the Barclays Center, were given via invitations to certain teams. The last two teams were later announced by ESL via a European and North American Qualifier.

FaZe was up to the bat first and played against GODSENT, beating them 2-1 and eliminating mousesports 2-0 in the semi-finals as well. On the other side of the field we have Astralis who beat both the Danish dignitas and French EnVyUs 2-1 to advance to the grand finals.

The VIPs of the Mirage match were Peter "dupreeh" Rasmussen and Markus "Kjaerbye" Kjaerbye, both pulling in 1.59 and 1.41 ratings, leading Astralis to a 16-10 victory.

Astralis's CT side helped them win Train 16-5 and the game 2-0, thus qualifying them for the NY tournament.
