Rooster's Epic Triumph: Securing a Spot in ESL Pro League Season 18!

Exciting news from the world of esports as the ANZ team, Rooster, secures their place in ESL Pro League Season 18 for the second year in a row! Their impressive journey to the tournament involved a thrilling 2-0 victory over VERTEX in the grand final of the Oceania open qualifier.

Under the guidance of their skilled leader, Michael "chelleos" Hawkins, Rooster is gearing up to fly to Malta once again, following their debut in ESL's prestigious league during Season 17.

With high hopes for a stronger performance this time, the Australian-New Zealander squad aims to leave a lasting impact. Their previous trip to Europe ended on a disappointing note, with a last-place exit after encountering formidable opponents like FaZe, paiN, and 00NATION. However, armed with valuable experience, Rooster is determined to bounce back and showcase their true potential.

The South America Open Qualifier, concluding on Wednesday with an exciting grand final clash between 00NATION and 9z, will determine one of the remaining contenders. The remaining two spots will be determined through the European qualifier, set to unfold from July 14th to 16th.

The stage is set, and the competition is fierce. As we await ESL Pro League Season 18, the list of teams slated to compete is shaping up to be a thrilling lineup of talent. Stay tuned as the esports community eagerly awaits the action-packed battles that lie ahead!
