The groups in the "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" women's ESL Impact League finish Nigma Galaxy and Natus Vincere in first place. With BIG EQUIPA, a Canadian organization is also continuing.

"It used to be tough, we were lagging far behind the men. But the matches against them are still very good experience for us," Nigma player Ksenia "vilga" Klyuenkova said in an interview after the match. "When we play against women again after that, we are full of confidence. Never stops us.»

As the winner of the first season and the Valencia tournament, Nigma Galaxy was already considered a big favorite before. In addition to the defending champion, Navi Javelins also showed a strong performance, both teams remained unbeaten and gave only two cards each. The teams of ninjas in pajamas and Astralis, on the contrary, were eliminated.

The Berlin organization BIG is also in the next round. Despite only two victories, the Portuguese-Spanish line-up took second place in their own group behind Navi. The team still has the chance to qualify for the final tournament, but has to prevail against Nigma in the playoffs.
