Endpoint beat Sprout to win ESEA MDL Season 35, advance to ESL Pro League Season 13

The European team around Kia "⁠Surreal⁠" Man has qualified for ESL Pro League Season 13.

Endpoint managed to come out on top of the league after a great run in the second part of the regular season, during which they came back from a 0-6 start in the round robin, and the playoffs, where they remained undefeated as they beat Secret, Nexus, SAW, and Sprout.

In the grand final of the 35th season, Surreal's squad defeated Sprout, winning the best-of-five with a 3-2 map score (including a map advantage after the team came from the upper bracket) despite a landslide loss on the series opener, Train.

MiGHTYMAX and flameZ will play their first Pro League season next year

The victory sees the United Kingdom-based side reach an important milestone, as the organization is set to make its first appearance in ESL Pro League in the next season, which is currently slated to take place in March-April 2021 in a studio location in Malta.

Joey "⁠CRUC1AL⁠" Steusel and company will join the twelve teams partnered with ESL in the prestigious league's 13th season as well as North American MDL winners TeamOne and ten other teams, mainly decided via ESL's world ranking.
