Piter to Katowice qualifier

Piter have defeated EYESports 2-0 in the ESL One Katowice CIS Qualifier and advance to the offline qualifier taking place between February 14-15.

Piter fought their way through the consolidation final, where they took down the Kazakh squad of Exgaming with relative ease, to face off against EYESports for a spot at the offline Katowice qualifiers.

The final was largely a one-sided affair however, with Piter relying on a higher coefficient of individual skill to take down EYESports 2-0: 16:4 on de_cobblestone and 16:6 on de_mirage.
