Four spots remain to7th century eroticismclaimed at ESL's premier league tournament.

Rooster rounded out the Oceanic contingent at ESL Pro League S17 after defeating Hello Kitten in the EPL Conference S17 lower bracket. They join Grayhound who qualified to the LAN event on the previous day of play after clinching first place at the online tournament.

EPL will be the team's second-ever recorded offline event, and the first one outside their home region. The opportunity to travel to Europe and compete against local opposition will prove an invaluable experience for the young squad who have already impressed in their qualification run.

HUGHMUNGUS and co. failed to defeat Rooster twice at the online event

Rooster qualified for their regional edition of EPL Conference thanks to their second-place finish at ESL Australia & NZ Championship Season 15, which they secured after beating more established position in the Oceanic scene such as VERTEX and Encore. Their run was cut short by a 0-3 sweep at the hands of Grayhound in the finals.

Michael "?chelleos?" Hawkins and company began their adventure at EPL Conference with a 2-0 victory over Hello Kitten, which earned them a rematch against Joshua "?INS?" Potter's men in the second round of the upper bracket. Rooster failed to overcome Grayhound once more and were sent to face Hello Kitten again, defeating their compatriots on Overpass (16-9) and Nuke (16-10) to secure the qualification spot.
