Schalke 04 Esports is eliminated in the League of Legends tournament Prime League Super Cup against third-division Kaufland Hangry Knights. The season also ended in the quarterfinals for Eintracht Spandau.
"We screamed as loud as we have never screamed in this house. I hope the neighbors didn't wake up," Hangry Knights coach Sebastian "Skyflap" Bauersachs said in an interview after the game. "It was a complete team effort. No one would have thought we would win this series.»
On paper, set as a third division club, Hangry Knights were considered a clear outsider in the inter-league Super Cup against first division runners-up Schalke. But the team, which will be promoted to the second division next season, is surprisingly in the semi-finals after a hard-fought 2-1 victory.
The Hangry Knights will meet the second division club Hertha BSC there, which means that the final will certainly take place with lower-class participation. In the lower half of the tournament, Eintracht Spandau clearly lost its quarter-final in the first-leg duel with a score of 0:2 against SK Prime. There will therefore be no Berlin derby in the semifinals against BIG.
