With three back to back wins, last of which being a 3-0 wipe against VP Polar, Team Empire has secured a ticket for the D2L LAN finals at Las Vegas.

Team Empire emerged as the second qualifier from the West Region after they crushed Virtus-Pro.Polar in the finals of the bubble race. Empire had finished fourth in the round-robin stage which meant that they had to win three matches in a row to qualify for the finals. Empire did not fail to impress taking all the three games without dropping a single match. They beat VP.Polar in the Best-of-5 finals, the same team they beat in the Esportal Winter 2014 qualifier finals recently.

 

 

With this win, Team Empire joins Evil Geniuses as the second qualifiers from the west. They will be heading for Caesars Palace, Las Vegas from January 5th to 6th to play in the LAN finals where they will be joined by LV Gaming and CDEC as the qualified teams from the east region. The prize pool of the tournament currently stands at $58,347 USD. You can add the to prize pool by purchasing an in-game ticket here.
