Malta National League Season 1 Playoffs
In the Playoffs, they were matched against Kebab Merchants which placed 2nd in Group B. Rivals, Iconic Cinco were matched up versus KY5 as they placed 1st in their respective group. Project Eversio won their best of 3 series 2-0, and so did Iconic Cinco. This meant that they were matching against their historic rivals in the Grand Finals.
MNL Grand Finals
The maps were as follows: Mirage, Overpass and Vertigo. First up on Mirage, which was Iconic Cinco’s pick did not go so well for the guys in red, as they lost the map 16-6. With this win, it was looking like another swift victory for Eversio. On Overpass however, Iconic Cinco showed a much more promising performance, showing that they had practiced the map thoroughly to give the Eversio lineup a challenge. Unfortunately for them, this was not enough as they ended up losing the map 16-14.
With Eversio winning the Malta National League over Iconic Cinco, they received a direct invite to Eden Esports’ main event, the European Development Championship.
Project Eversio at the European Development Championship
Eversio’s first match-up at the EDC was none other than Top 30 team, Winstrike. This was going to be a tough task for the Maltese team, and this showed in the end result. The series finished with a 2-0 scoreline (Vertigo 16-6 & Train 16-9), favoring Winstrike. This loss meant that Project Eversio were eliminated from the tournament, and Winstrike advanced through to the eight round of playoffs.
This was the first time that a Maltese core team was participating in a big European event such as this. Despite their immediate loss, the team has definitely learned a lot, and that is why they have revamped their roster. Hopefully, they can return with a better performance in Season 2!
